my recommendation is to name your town after a real place
like, name it after a city or something. But, make it creative.
Like, look for cities that have a certain reputation that you want your town to have? Does that make any sense?
For example -
Ōkunoshima (大久野島) [the rabbit island in Japan] would be good if you wanted to collect all of the rabbit villagers
or Miyajima (宮島)/Itsukushima (厳島) [the Shrine island in Japan that's famous for it's large deer and monkey population that roam freely] if you wanted to collect monkey or deer villagers
if those are too much of a mouthful, you could always translate a word you want to name your town into a different language.
So (in japanese), if you wanted to collect deer villagers, you could name your town - Amaeru (甘える) [which is 'fawn'] or Shika (鹿) [which is 'deer']
Other examples (I'll use Spanish here) would be if you wanted to name your town Lindo(a) [pronounced leen-doe or leen-dah] which means cute/pretty. Other Spanish words for cute are: Mono(a) or Bonito(a) [use 'a' instead of 'o' at the end if you want it to be feminine] which both mean something closer to 'pretty', 'beautiful', 'dandy', or 'lovely'
haha, wow that was a lot for one post, but hopefully someone will find this helpful!!
