So, I am a person with very little imagination, lol, who could never dream of making up a language. But anyways, is it okay to use latin words (somtimes twisted or mixed) to name people and places in a fantasy world. Latin is just such a beautiful language and really fits in with fantasy.
For exapmle, there is a small island of healing called the Isle of Sol. Or a city called Terra, where the inhabitants possess the ability to make things grow.
Like is that cheap or kinda cheating?

@Yamatsu

I mean, we use words in other languages to name things all the time! Isle Delfino, Sahara Desert, Panera Bread, you get the idea. It's not cheap unless you use a word that means the same thing (desert desert and bread bread, for instance).

I'm doing the exact same thing, and actually, I need help with that.
Does anyone have a name in English for a partner or spouse, that sounds quite unemotional and cold? I thought of attachment, but I'm not really sure.

Consociate sounds kind of stand offish in my opinion, if that is what you mean
