Hello hello! Ive been thinking long and hard for medieval names for towns,
cities and villages. Unfortunately, I seem to be having
city-name-writers-block! I tend to get some ideas from ancient Greece and
Star Wars planet names, but those'll only carry someone so far. :)
Anyone want to suggest names that they particularly like but wouldnt mind
putting into the public record? The more creative the better! I think that
names with a ' in it are interesting, such as Blut'ader (I think I spelled
it correctly!) But I also like the flow of more traditional names. What do
others think about this subject? Where do you all get your inspirations?
Cheers,
Dave
