Any ideas for city names?

1. What sort of feel are you looking for? Enoch, Babylon or other biblical name might work for an Angel or Tainted tilted game. I used the name Rosebriar for a Fae themed game. Other ideas Watch Wood/Hill (Hunters/Wolf), Ravenstown, or perhaps pick a patron saint of something creepy or odd (like the recently dead) and use that.

   You could also just turn the question to your players.

2. Use a real city.

3. It depends. Do you want city name to have a meaning and history behind it or just sound good?

   For starters, you can take just any town name and use it, as there’s a chance no one in your gaming group heard of it before

   You can use also name generator: http://www.mithrilandmages.com/utilities/CityNames.php

   Or

   Or figure one, that caries the themes of your game.

4. I like that generator idea. I think I’ll generate a few names and see if one sticks. 🙂 I’d like it to have a little history, but I’m confident I can come up with a basic history for just about any name that sounds good, haha. Thanks for the links!

5. Or use an old name from a city that used to exist, but doesn’t any longer….

6. Or use a known fictional city – Metropolis and Gotham City come to mind

7. Robert Slaughter​​​ I would use names as these to establish the mood of the game, if I can find appropriate one. 

   Gotham, Arkham, Mega City…

   P.S. In very specific games. Not everyone can just roll with it.

8. New Amsterdamn?

9. I support choosing a city and making a new one. St. Argos is the first name that came to mind for no particular reason.
