Let's discuss character names in fantasy. What makes a name good or bad? What is your favorite or least favorite name from a fantasy book?

Like for example I am writing a fantasy book inspired by Greek & Inuit mythology. The main character is named Zale, & all characters in his homeland have Greek names like Aleksander and Octavia. The characters he meets on his journey (outside of his homeland) mostly have Inuit names like Amarok, Kataum, and Ijiraq. Are these names good or bad?

Just asking because we were talking about cringe names in the last thread and I don't want to be cringey.
