Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
First off, if you are writing something it helps if you have come up with all of the names, it makes it much easier to write, and 'own' the story!. I wouldn't use the name of a sword from another legend unless you have other references/similarities!.
When coming up with names, I usually pick out my favorite letter from the alphabet and see what I can do with those!. Or I peruse old book for ideas!. If worst comes to worst I search through greek, or latin books for certain roots that I like and whose meanings fit the book!.
Plus it is always fun when someone catches your use of roots!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

sword w/ name that has unfathomable power and can only be wielded by certain people!?

i would suggest anduril but oops! someone already used that name-and that whole idea!.

i mean, come on!. lord of the rings, eragon (i know, i know basically the same thing), how many other fantasy books or movies!? sorry, it's kind of a cliche now!. try something else other than a sword!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Althalos,
Skeldergate sword,
Lazarus,
