HelpRe: Invented name Nalis, thoughts?
in reply to a message by hebeCotogna
Yeah, it sounds real enough. Namey enough for English speakers, without evoking anything else. Like Alice with an N. Or like Valis.
The only issue could be that it sounds a tiny bit like malice? But I felt the stretch, when I reached for that.
IIWY I would abandon the lore about it coming from a plant scientific name ___ officinalis, unless you are writing a sort of comic-edged story. It seems too silly and odd if you mean it to be realistic.
