I just realized I don’t want to just call my god ‘God’ so help me out! I’m looking for fantasy names here, they don’t have to be pronounceable.

Yeah! So I came up with a whole pantheon of gods using the method I'm about to describe.
So typically, my method is to find cool-sounding foreign words with some meaning that describes the deity (in fact the two words in a name don't even have to be from the same language if it's high fantasy and you're just making stuff up). Usually it's good to take one or two syllables from each word you pick and then mash them up and alter vowels and some consonants so they look more fantasy-ized and so you can shape them to have the pronunciation you want.
Idk if that made any sense, but that's what I do.

I will take that into consideration!
well what are they a god of, are they benevolent or malicious, are they the only god in your story, are they based on real mythology? These are questions that can usually help make a god

Okay here is some more information: the god is one of two deities, the other being the Demon of Death. They are all-powerful except when it comes to dealing with the other deity. They are normally depicted as being benevolent, and are also commonly depicted as female, while the Demon of Death is seen as male. They are also associated with darkness, ice, and the moon.
Penelopus
Equine
Ira (Pronounced eye-ra or eera depends on what you like)
Senna
Faye
Viaga
Gira
Khat (Yep pronounced cat or caat)
That's all I got from the top of my head. Hope one of these is what you're looking for or at least helps give you an idea of what you want.

So are they both associated with those three things? The "they" biz leaves me unable to tell.
Also, she a god of Life?
They is also a pronoun for something with no Gender. What Darkblossom is saying is that the God has no gender but looks like a woman. So the God we're naming is the darkness, ice, moon one.
Still hella confusing because "they" is plural.
But I think I've figured out what is trying to be said.
Yeah I'm writing characters based off friends. One of my friends is born a girl but is non-binary, I had to change that cause writing 'they' instead of 'she/her' messed up my writing flow.
See what needs to be done is a non sex specific word that is not the same as the word that can mean any randonm thing.
a maybe helpful idea???
smash some words together !!! that's always fun and you can make some pretty cool names
so the one you need a name for is a god of darkness, ice, and the moon right?
so here's a few I came up with, I hope this helps or gives you ideas!
Daion
Miess
Arkice
Maressi
Icne
Nessooni

Arkice and Icne are some good names, I will probably chose between those! Thanks to everyone who posted here with advice!

If I was you I would create suspense in a certain way : The Red God ; The Old Gods ; the storm God … give him a feature instead of a name …

Too late, they’re now called Icne.
