The weirdest things you've ever named a city

[Da_V_Man]

What are some of the weird things you named a city?

For one, I have named cities (Especially in civ 3) names that go right to the limit. One being something like Naharsaflarsadabab.

 

[SilverTab]

Seminiferous Tubule

 

[Slaughter]

Myself. Yes, I've named a city with my own name.

When I first played Civ (Civ III), I named my capital Bobylon because Bob is my nickname.

 

[HardCoder]

In Civ II and III I used to play as the "Borg Empire" and would name cities 001, 002, 003, and so on. I did that with Civ IV a time or two but it didn't seem as much fun.

My favourite was one I came up with for a city I built in the desert for the purpose of accessing iron and clams.

Ironclam Flats.

Filmore, Gapston and Plugworth for late-game infill cities, Igloo and Icebox for arctic landgrabbers.
Penzance seemed appropriate for a city at the far south-west of my continent.
Marblewine was self-descriptive and euphonious (and KMadCandy built "Pig Iron", also self-descriptive but less pleasant-sounding)

I always do that with my three names.

Yeah I've named cities "Placeholder," "Interstitial," and "Denial" before, to deny enemy civs the spots in-between my cities. Tubules.. gross. I've also named cities after my metropolitan area's cities before.. this dates back to Master of Orion when my empire would sound like a map of the L.A. metropolitan area. "Oh crap, the Space Amoeba is headed straight for Hollywood!"

In dire need for a catchy city name , I accepted the sad suggestion of bestowing a city's after a smelly fiery orange cat named Rusty Muggins.

EDIT almost Forgot my signature

I usually leave the names the game has preassigned for the Civs...but I was getting used to a new keyboard and kept missing the enter key....I'd hit the ] or \ buttons as I was plugging at it....

So I ended up with Munich, Munich\, Munich], and Munich\\

I was pretty confused as the game went on.

Uh you know you can rename a city after it's been founded, right? Just click on its name when you're inside the full-screen city menu.

 

[Rusty Edge]

I'm inclined to use suffixes... tropolis, topia, ville, burgh, town, city. I recently played as "Ming the Merciless" and since my capital was in a large forest I named it "Arboria". Should have renamed it Stump City.

 

[Swein Forkbeard]

K2. Just to tell you, this name is derived from the second highest mountain peak, and the "K" stands for Karakorum.

 

[Da_V_Man]

In my current game, I just put 4 land and resource grabbbing cities on my continent. Supergrab, Dupergrab and Pupergrab are all on the southern side of my continent, and Crapograb, which is is in the arctic.

Mumbles (or The Mumbles) is a place near Swansea, in Wales.

I'm boring and tend to use default names, but when I capture a barb city in civ4 I give it a insulting and humorous name - f.i., Uzbek was renamed "Major *******s", in memory of their early raids into my territory.

That sounds like my M.O.

Especially when capturing enemy capitals and other large / strategic cities, I often rename them to:

"What now bltch"
"Sucku punch"
"Sword > Bow"
"Otaku was here"

... just whatever rolls off my tongue when I capture them or based on how I captured them.

Other than that, my own cities get basic, descriptive names like:

"Chopping Block" (early deforestation zone)
"HGP" or "Cloning Lab" (Human Genome Project ... factory)
"Whipping Post" or "Labor Camp" (major whip rush city)
"Pearl Harbor" (naval yard)
"Boot Camp" and "OCS" (lower and higher +XP and +% military unit cities)
"Fort Knox" or "$$$" gold: city)
"Ivy League" or "11111011" science: city)


Nothing special, really ...
