Yes, that's what I meant... RegentMan, maybe you should sleep more?

Oops. I forgot to take it out after a copy and paste. No more staying up until the wee hours of the morning...

Great ideas so far!

I just thought of something... Or would be an excellent name for a city! I'm proposing that!

 

[Ankka]

"Or"?

What's the point...?

 

[Peri]

Since our next city will be at a choke-point, what about Asphyxia?

Chieftess would love that, as it is very similar to Asphynxia, a fabled DG1 province.

 

[Ankka]

Does it mean something?

 

[Peri]

It is the medical term for being without air I believe.

 

[Ankka]

Ok... sounds good...

 

[Plexus]

Plextl has a nice ring to it.

 

[magnusmarcus]

Please add Mootopia to the list

 

[Zarn]

Please add 'Jedina,' the city name I always advocate for demogames.

 

[Peri]

Please also add Hereford and Gurnsey as alternatives for the cow city.

 

[Ankka]

I say let's have a city named Ryttylä.

 

[Peri]

What does it mean in English?

 

[Ankka]

Nothing, really I think. It's just a cool little village near to where I live.

 

[RegentMan]

All added. We have a pretty big list now!

 

[Peri]

Please feel free to remove the cow related ones once city no.3 has been founded.

Will do Peri.

No offense, guys, but I am really against Moo-anything. It's just a bit too cutesy for my tastes.

When naming cities, let's try to be less literal and come up with some names of cities that you may find outside of Sesame Street. One of the things I like to do is use obscure references from song lyrics or album titles. Here are some examples of city-like names I have used(bonus points if you can figure out where the name comes from ):

Lateralus
The Bends
Bishopsgate(how about this for our canal city?)
Warakurna
Skellington
Orbus
West Oram
El Oso
Stull
Audiac

And just some other names inspired by commonplace sights, or interesting words:

Tyvek
Movado
Forbes
Intrepid
Androbius
Poerrt
Evian


Even if we end up not using any of these names, I would like us to be a bit more inspired when choosing city names. CDZ's Cave of Caerbannog is a great example: weird and menacing. And I can't wait to see their other names --- hopefully not a lot of them.

Just my two cents; hope I haven't offended anyone.
