My favorite that me and my DM agreed upon is for prestidigitation. My character had to hold out their hand and snap their fingers very loudly. That way there's a somatic and audible (instead of verbal) component. I kept our bard close so that if anyone asked what I was doing they would use deception to say I had a brain injury or was effected by a curse or something to get me out of being jailed. Anyone in the adjoining tiles can hear it.
As a DM I have always ruled that verbal components mean that you're speaking at a normal "outdoor" speaking voice that I give a range of a 30 foot hemisphere unless there is a subterranean with ground sense might pick up on, with it becoming a sphere at that point.
For a great many necromancy spells, I have used the name Azrael at some point since it's the Judeo-Christian name for the angel of death. One necromancer character based all of his verbal components around it for any spell from the necromancy school.
There's a lot of people that like to take the chaotic route in dnd, so one dm said that each school of magic had a word (magically tied to it in time immemorial) that had to be included in the casting if a character wanted to use that spell. The only exception was great old one warlocks who had to say a different set of gibberish every time (we had one who tried to contest the rule).
Elder futhark is a good choice of a language to say your spells it because each letter is also connected to an element which is helpful for creating spells it’s really hard to find a good translator though
