I am flattered they 'remind' you (so must be good names :) but i assure you they are very different.
-HERE- is a map of C.Paolini's "Alägaesia".
A lot of his names and old elven in the book are based loosely around old english, germanic and scandinavian sounds and names. Can't spot any names too close to mine though.
A few of the place name in the south may have been used many times in literature or sound familiar. This is because they are based on or inspired by real place names in Devon and Somerset England (where i am from). Places like Axebridge, Elmswell, Stanton. etc are based on real places, eg. "Ogg's Well" (from 'East Ogwell' in devon). I chose them because i have always thought these names were cool and RPG-ish.
The ones in the north are made up of several different syllables of real placenames in and around Scotland/N England and has my own meanings too (Nas- village, kyp -keep, etc..).
