	But that gets us back into the names that really don't sound
like names doesn't it? To better illustrate by original point, there are
SCA place names that sound like real place names, such as Mendersham,
and SCA place names that don't sound at all like real place names, such
as Elfsea. I'm not trying to pick on Elfsea, I'm just trying to make a
point, and that point being I think that it would be better to have a
more realistic sounding name.
