The Town Name Idea Thread

[luluphant]

I always name my town Narnia. c:

 

[Momonoki]

I can't choose a naaaaaaame :C

 

[Lisaru]

See i try to base my names off my favourite things, that dwindles it down (Sometimes xD)
1) Kiba
2) Aincrad
3) Rapture (Big bioshock fan)
4) Dorayaki (my favorite Japanese dessert)
5) Colours/names with Ville or something on the end.

I find having a theme first then helps choose a name though.

Does anyone have suggestions for a town name that revolves around water?

.........*looks around* Lanayru.....

Shibuya, Arcadia, Hart, Rothbury, Shelby, McAllen, To name a few. Also, Windvale, Bluffs, St. Rein, Rayne, Shade, and Clocks. I'm not that good with names

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!!

I'm thinking of calling my town Iselia or Lilane, they both sound pretty! (I still haven't got the game, I did just get my 3DS yesterday so-)
Posting it here because someone else may use it if they come this far back, haha.

Ooh I'm trying to get out of the resetting loop so i'm going to call my town Parhaol because it's Welsh for permanent so yeah

 

[duckwalk]

Not sure whether mega-city one would fit (because Judge Dredd), Akrotiri is a place is Greece and Kukes is in Albania. There's more comic book names: Gotham, Kryptonoplois, Madripoor, Riverdale. And there is also fandom names (that don't include comic books): Panem, Majula (Dark Souls 2 though), Basin. Here is a link to the top 50 fictional cities. Or you can translate some words like somebody else has already said
