lf headworld name suggestions

Posted 10 months, 10 days ago by corvidcalling

i am slowly and steadily adding more characters to my liminal space/horror headworld--where dog and ares are from!! it's about time i gave it a name, but i am NOT good with that kind of thing so i'm hoping some of you are more creative than i am 😩

i'm looking for something that doubles as both a name for the world itself but would also serve as the titular title if it were like a story...preferably a one word name! i tried looking a while back if there was a word for a phobia of liminal spaces but couldn't find much. hoping to make a tag and folder for the characters so i kinda need a name first LOL ty in advance for any ideas!!

some flavor text on the world in case it's helpful: it's technically post apocalyptic, and was a normal world similar to earth until a mass extinction event caused pretty much everything to be wiped out and now the only living beings are corrupted, mutated gods and other messed up creatures...most resemble organic forms of life, but they don't have to, and pretty much anything goes. life functions pretty much like the prehistoric era, with all living beings simply fighting for survival--civilizations don't really exist here. the world itself literally is one giant liminal space that can change from one area to the next, and is constantly shifting. sometimes it can resemble nature, other times man-made architecture, and sometimes even things the human mind can't fathom. even the creatures themselves are known to shift their physiology, nothing is really quite stable here. one thing is for certain, pretty much every aspect of this world feels simply Wrong from a human point of view. just familiar enough to be recognizable, but never enough to feel like home. should man ever set foot on this planet, they'd likely succumb to madness.

I think the word you could be looking for is Kenophobia? 

but for world names... maybe: 

LimiNull: Like the world was called something else but someone decided to null it out since they didn't consider it the same world anymore, and other people heard them use that name and it caught on 

Umbra ( inspired from CoyoteCountry's suggestion :)) 

Kenocalla, Kenoba/Kenophobal, Zexade (:cool planet name i found), Kenok, Kenox, or Aibohoponek (xD).

That last one just exposed that I can't spell XD, but I do think it's easier to pronounce than Aibohponek

OOOOO!! LIMINULL IS ACTUALLY RLLY NEAT?? PROPS TO YOU BRO I WOULD NOT  HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT /POS

Ahaha! Thank you~!!

Of course!

Agoraphobia? Or maybe The Inbetween or Inter, which is inbetween/between in latin

Primorium

Pri for primordial

Mori like the Latin word for death

I'm not the best with these things, but your description/flavor text definitely reminds me of how the primordial chaos is described in mythology (in the Metamorphoses specifically)! 

So maybe something with chaos in it or related to it? You could even spell it Kaos if you're feeling extra fancy (or,, edgy I guess? Lol)
