About botani names
Sprouting in one or two short syllables, results like "Ner", "Yal" and "Narik" sound closer to botany shorthand than to birth names. Plant-folk echoing Warcraft's botani wear them naturally, as does any mobile greenery rooted in your own setting's deep forests. Stack two results together when a seedling matures and earns a longer name.
How botani names are built
Botani names are synthesised from a syllable profile over seven fragment pools, yielding earthy single-word forms. "Nollar", "Tarla" and "Steran" all come from that same profile, landing on rooted, plant-solid shapes.

Naming notes
The botani are a plant race, and the profile reflects it: results lean on grounded consonants and -ar/-an endings (Nollar, Steran) that feel woody rather than airy. The syllable model produces a single flowing word, so names stay simple and organic. Use these for a botani cultivator or genesaur-tender; the solid, two-syllable shapes suit a creature grown from soil.
