Successful fantasy setting names?

How about some Fantasy novel lands?

From David Eddings, a sample:

Sendaria
The Vale of Aldur
Algaria
Aloria
Cherek
Riva
Drasnia
Tolnedra
Nyissa
Gar Og Nadrak
Thull Mardu
Cthol Murgos
Mallorea
Karanda

- quite a few three-syllable names there. I note two-word place-names have been popular for a good long time (probably since CS Lewis and before - Caer Paravel?).

And then there's descriptives in English (or the language of your choice) - Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover, for instance.

Sorry, this wasn't well organised, but I hope it adds to the discussion at hand.
 
Maybe it's because I am too eclectic, spending so much time reading nonfiction and other genres to really keep up with Fantasy, but I can only think of a few fantasy novel settings that I think really capture the public imagination. (Of course, there are thousands more that capture the imagination of some readers.)

Off the top of my head there are:

One syllable names
Gor
Oz
Pern

Two syllable names
Barsoom
Diskworld
Endor
Mongo
Naboo

Three syllable names
Coroscant
Foundation
Landover
Middle Earth
Narnia
Shanarra
Tatoonie

Longer names

Three syllable names seem to predominate.
 
YES! I WAS RIGHT!

Now that this is established as CONCRETE FACT... I will stop shouting and come up for a name of my own world setting...
 
While driving home, I came up with an idea for why three-syllable names seem to be the most popular.

It is my conclusion, that the art of storytelling is the art of producing suspense. It is a theory of mine that language arose from music, and thus the musical meaning of suspense has some bearing on storytelling suspense, especially oral storytelling. (Consider the power of good poetry, which is between strict textual language and musical expression.)

I conclude that a three syllable name seems incomplete somehow, creating a form of suspense which attracts attention. Four syllables would sound complete, due to the way our neurological wiring happened to evolve, and so a three syllable name leads one naturally into anticipation, which is the essense of suspense.

Note: I am using suspense here as anything that holds people's attention.
