Tips for Better Names
- Consider local geography or landmarks
- Simple names often feel more authentic
- Town names should sound smaller than city names: hollow, brook, wick, ford, moor, down ("Bitterhollow", "Saltbrook", "Nettlemoor").
- One slightly unpleasant word in a town name suggests history — "Bitter", "Sooty", "Drowned" — and gives players something to ask about.
- Keep neighbouring towns phonetically similar so the region reads as one culture.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a good fantasy town name?
Good town names are memorable, pronounceable, and hint at the settlement's character or history. Geography-inspired names feel authentic.
What makes a town name sound like a town?
A small-scale landscape suffix and a domestic first element. Brook, ford, wick, and hollow all imply somewhere a few hundred people live; gate and spire do not.
Should towns be named after people?
Possessive names like "Hobb's Furrow" work well and imply a founder. Mixing a few of those in among descriptive names is what stops a map reading as one template.
