you learn just enough linguistics to make a language skeleton with consistent names that don’t sound like 1) english but not or 2) what an english person thinks language X sounds like where X is Arabic for people in an arid climate, etc. this is much less complex than making an entire language with a full enough dictionary to express complex thoughts and grammatical rules just to have names for places
More people need to learn how to make a naming language so they don’t have to worry about making a full-blown conlang.
