⌐■_■ Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 Wicker falls.. seems good! Also: Names I found in Maine: Moscow Belgrade Rome Belfast Corinth Troy Detriot A lot of towns with Corner or Hill Hmm.. Castle Rock anyone? Anyhow, here are my suggestions: - red moon - moon falls - wolf creek But those aren't names you'd use for a city that once knew greatness. Maybe this comes closer to what you mean? - rotgothen (made up lol) - rot lochos (made up lol) - justice city - excellence city - archfreedom city - estrangeles (looks like Los Angeles wich is an awesome name and is an anagram (sort of) of greatness) - grace city - magnit city - grand majestic - splendor city That's it.

Singedrac Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 Tautological placenames kick ass. Pick a random language (not english) and find out what they use for "city" and name your city that. There is a hill in England called Torpenhow Hill where Tor, Pen, and How, are all the words for "hill" in the languages of various previous waves of settlers. So it translates to "Hillhillhill Hill". Do something like that! Quote
Taylor Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 Mythological Underworlds/Otherworlds or gates to such places: Avernus Mictlan Niflheim Tartarus Xibalba Buddhist “Hell” equivalents: Arbuda Avici Hahava Naraka Nirarbuda Raurava Utpala Words with connotations of hell you can mix it up with. Abaddon Abyss Aether Dis Gehenna Miasma Makai Nether Ordeal Pandemonium Perdition Pestilence Purgatory I quite like the sound of Tartarus. It doesn’t sound like a silly name for a modern city and the reference isn’t cheesy sounding when you know what it is. I also wrote Miasmapolis, but stared at it a bit and deleted it – then wrote it again to tell you all my silly name. Or you could go the opposite route and name it somewhere really pleasant sounding. Like Clearwater or Haven, whoa -- juxtaposition, it’s like poetry. Quote
e-freak Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 Tartarus sounds like filled Cowstomach-Saussage Go with something normal - It is the story that makes the city horrorble not the name. A quote i had in a test about "Der Sandmann" at school said (contently) "The most horror comes through the alldaily" Quote
