Choose words and symbols to illustrate your fantasy, rather than something generic.

First off, there are a number of free online tools for exploring words' synonyms, connotations, and impact. One I like is: graphwords.com

Secondly, if you figure out what makes your fantasy unique, and find words that illustrate and support that, you'll be telling your own story, rather than some generic (and IMHO thus more boring) story.

So if your fantasy involves, say, magical trees, find/search for words related to trees, folktales about trees, tree spirits (dryads), origins of Christmas trees, etc. Use the resulting info to 'color' the world your story takes place in and its characters. If dragons are a focus, make word/concept lists to support flying, fire, jewels, caverns, treasure etc.

And you can do this with names (though best to avoid being obvious about it.) For example, 'Thorin Oakenshield' gives some character hints that 'Thorin Jones' just doesn't.
