This mod creates random names for any city when it is founded.

Credit goes out to The Lopez, without his Random Unit Names mod, i would have never figured this out.

Note that this mod includes a true random names generator, not a long list of names. It's my first crack at a random name generator, so it ain't perfect, but the likelyhood of awkward names is quite low. You can try to tweak to your own tastes. Here's a sample:
Enobville
Buet
Leboe
Acrocium
Las Vop
Strucoccut
Cred
Whuldbron
Blaph
Dec
Erl
Vaha
Rylcleat
Ruppa
Darst
Snu
Shribogton
Ilefo
Ihal
Cha
Yokat
Gop Shab
Phyrce
Frum Joul
Iemake
Id
Eanico
Snoagklap
Ipusa
Al Sim
Prinum
Bleen
Hirbi
Uboh
Ghous
Caiststeab
Ghubushill
Kramy
Iojod
Ghed
Dreggago
Wudus
Tong
Wucitilolis
Sheice
Cupscir
Oithrak
Oripton
Snoratoq

This mod creates a random name for every city. For all civs in the game that is not so good, because you want a civ flavor to the names and you want to be able to recognize who founded a city by which list it is on, plus regular names are just more memorable. However, it would be really great if it could be restricted to Barbarian cities. Instead of having Saxon between Japan and China or Cherokee near Rome, barb cities would have names like those on the list above.
 
OK, I've made something that seems to do this. The attached component gives a randomly generated name to any city either captured by a barb, captured from a barb, or founded by a barb. onCityBuilt didn't work so I used onCityAcquired, which still didn't work for barb founded cities until I eliminated the barb city name list (only one entry with no characters), and now it works. Regular civ citiies still have names from the list for that civ.
