Title: Naming and worldbuilding for an original near-future fiction setting
About the project
I’m developing an original fictional setting, around 100 to 150 years in the future, that may be developed across several media. I need a creative writer to help name places, groups, technology and everyday things in this world.
The setting (brief)
A wealthy, high-tech city on a major river in a future Latin America, rebuilt after a devastating global war.
Society is layered: rich elite families at the top, ordinary working districts, rough outer edges, a hidden underground, and a lawless region across the river.
The culture is mixed and multilingual. Spanish and English dominate, with words borrowed from other languages (for example Japanese, Portuguese and possibly others that make sense).
Names should feel like they evolved naturally over a century.
The tone is gritty but not hopeless and there should be a different feel from the high end city to the outskirts as you would expect.
What I need
For each item on a list I’ll provide (about 20 to 30 items to start), please give:
3 to 5 name options
a one-line meaning or origin for each
where useful, a street-slang version alongside the official name
Categories include districts, groups and factions, technology, brands, money and everyday street slang.
Requirements
Names must be original and must not match existing games, films, books or brands. Please note any you’ve checked.
Correct use of Spanish and other languages, including avoiding words with unintended or offensive meanings.
Please state whether you use AI tools in your process.
