I prefer Mirivosk over Mirivoso, but I wouldn't be unhappy with the latter if that won out. I really, really like Priyubinsk as well.

So many possibilities for bad puns and nicknames in every possible suggestion we can come up with.
Personally, I'd like to avoid special characters (who would bother memorizing the alt-codes and slowing their typing down every time they said the name?) and pronunciation that is too bizarre.
That said, I like most of the suggestions so far! After we have some favorites, and enough members, we should hold a vote.

Mirivosk/Mirivoso pulls at me from a nostalgic point--it's very similar to Mirros, which was the old name for Specularum prior to Thyatian influence and the capital of the Grand Duchy of Karameikos. Karameikos was my first kingdom in my first favored campaign setting (Mystara) when I started RPGs so many years ago.

Mirivosk I feel is arguably simple and easy to remember.

My brain shuts down when I look at it and I study foreign language. Most everything eastern European does that to me.

I have that problem some times. But the more I see Mirivosk the easier its getting.

I would like Veramere or Veramier if we were on or near water, or a swamp

Looking it up again... "Imp-ehr-ah" - but roll that R a little. Interesting name, but I hope we find something people can actually pronounce..

Since Rookwarden is already taken, what about Ringwarden?
I could get behind Mirivosk/Mirivoso or Veramier/Veramere.

Hey guys - new to the table here, joined KotC a couple weeks ago. Glad that the Kickstarter project funded.
As for names - might I put forth my two copper pieces:
Tolkien has a great style for his names - one can not do wrong in trying to emulate him. Furthermore, your mission statement of the guild is something I think he would have very much warmed up to. Especially his tendencies of good over evil, and kindness towards life and community.
Also the River Kingdoms are near Ustalav and Brevoy - emulating those with slavic sounding names would really fit as well.
