The Town Name Idea Thread

I always have the hardest time naming my village. I got the name Iliac Bay in mind for this, I'll probably change my mind 5 more times the closer to release.
 
Since I'm a huge Earthbound/Mother fan, I think I'll name my town Magicant this time. I'll make Ness mayor, then model the second character after myself, and make Jeff and Paula the third and fourth characters.

Semi-spoilers if you haven't played Earthbound: Magicant is a place you go later in the game that is actual'y Ness' subconscious, with people and events from his life appearing in a wacky bizzarro sort of world. I think after beating the game, Mayor Pirkle of Ness' hometown mentions whether or not you're wanting to become mayor, so it'll fit in perfectly with New Leaf I think. :p
 
Panem is a nice idea as well. But I already have my town's name. Thihihi.

And though I really LOVE Zelda and played all the games since my early childhood - please do not name your town Hyrule.
Every ten year old nerd boy does it. Every s-i-n-g-l-e one.

If it comes to Zelda names, I would prefer Kokiri or Faron... or something else.
 
While I'm waiting, I'm jotting down a list of possible names. I'm leaning towards places named in Lovecraft stories. There are many names. For example there is a sky kingdom names Serannian. Since there is a letter limit, I'm reviewing names to shorten them. In the example, I would just have two n.
 
Okay, so I've always been the type who likes my character name and my town name to have a little rhyme or alliteration to it. Is this just me? Am I weird? xD
(My past towns have been Hachi from Harmony, Mikachu from Maito, etc... xD)

Kathryn from Castiel.
Kathryn from Lakeview.
Renee from Wishfall.​

Oooh, Wishfall's pretty sweet.

My City Folk town's name is Winsburg

I decided on Garnet for my New Leaf game.
I figured something to do with the colour green because it's leafy.
I almost chose Emerald or Peridot

I like Emerald only because Pokemon Emerald is my all time favorite Pokemon game.

I thought garnets were typically deep red in color? Every garnet I've seen has been a shade of red or orange.
 
Here are some more ideas:

Twinleaf
Sandgem
Jubilife
Oreburgh
Floaroma
Eterna
Solaceon

(yes, they are town names from the Sinnoh region in Pokemon)
