Do we actually know they're all stress-timed? Lalafell names, for example, I've kind of assumed would be aligned not only with JP phonemes but timing/tone as well.I think most of this could be taken care of just here on the forums by editing it into the naming convention threads. Those are primarily geared towards names of people, but in most cases it's not too hard to infer the race of origin for place names as well and apply the same rules. When unsure, it seems pretty safe to fall back on the "standard" 5 vowels and use consonants as pronounced in Japanese, leaving the hardest task being determining which syllables are the stressed ones.
Hyur names and others which derive from/mimic romance languages, on the other hand...
