About house corrino names
Stately results like "Ghadaira", "Alullah", and "Fawzeba" lean on liquid l sounds and formal cadences with a faint desert-court inflection. They sound bred for throne rooms rather than battlefields, which matches an imperial dynasty in Dune inspired writing. Reserve the longer, more ornate forms for emperors and princesses and the compact ones like "Ihob" for courtiers.
How house corrino names are built
Names use two simple two-part patterns, drawing from large banks (up to 210 entries) so each joins two chunks into one imperial-sounding word. Worked examples from the bank: "Harala", "Faraida", "Haithara".

Naming notes
The phonetic character is Arabic and Near-Eastern, soft h, th, and open a sounds that read regal and ancient. Large banks on every slot keep the combination space wide. Use these for imperial nobility or original courtiers in a fan story set in that style.
