A naming language is a type of conlang used to form proper names, usually for a piece of media such as a book, game or movie. It may qualify as a sketchlang, as there are few grammatical rules beyond those that dictate word derivation, and many may be nothing more than lists of words. Even list-of-words naming languages, however, normally have an established rule, written or unwritten, that determines whether compounds are head-first or head-final.
