About fairy names
Fairy names are light and playful. They often end in bright sounds like -la, -ette, -wick or -by, and their family names come from flowers, dew, moss and small woodland things.
Depending on your story, fairies can be gentle helpers or tricksters with a cruel streak. A name like Pipwick Thistledown sounds harmless; whether it is, is up to you.
