One could also go for Farronite being close to that one noble's name in Aurvandil.

how is the name funny?

Keep reading it until you see the misspelling.

Read it a couple times, and say it out loud. Make sure to do so slowly, and make sure everyone can hear you when you say it.

(And yes, this really was what the realm's name was when it was first created. There's actually code to prevent using government types in realm names, so they only reason they were able to get "Republic" in there in the first place was by inadvertently misspelling it....then getting it manually changed so it wasn't so terrible.)

Terran.


Loved the realm.

Hated the name.

Hey, at least you aren't stuck with D'Hara, directly ripped off some novel of some sort. I wouldn't have minded the name were it original, but I was rather disappointed when I learned it was not.

Does anyone remember the very brief existence of the Protectorate of Obsidian Islands, which also declared the Obsidian Islands to be an empire?

Kronos' Burg?

D'Hara is really the worst name for a realm. It has always  made me cringe. Summerdale was also pretty bad.
