Names for Cities and Towns

[Kuroaitou]

...

Oh, and a couple of things:

- we cannot steal names from other games, movies, etc.
...

Crap. Hey SG, I just realized that 'Cocoon' was actually the name of one of the 'Worlds' for Final Fantasy XIII (in relation to the other world Pulse). I guess that means that my name is cut.

Mine arent stolen. They are made up or latin words.

[Scaredgirl]

Thanks for the ideas. I'll look at them tomorrow.

[ScytherLoL]

Just so i can add some in:

capital: Honea Kore (Black Hole)
city 1: Toapapa (gravity)
city 2: Karihi (nucleus)
city 3: Aorangi (planet)

These are in my native tongue of Maori. I figured one language for them all would make sense so stuck with that.

Thanks

Capital cities are bold, regular ones are not.


   Cassiopeia, Andromeda, Ophiuchus, Asphyxion, (Theme: Graeco-Roman constellations)

   Cloud City, Zephyr, Stratos, Tropos (theme: air/atmosphere)

   Moord,  Middleknot (Based on Middernacht, Dutch for midnight and a great song), Heel (the Dutch word for Transylvania, ironically similar to "hell") Nesangro (theme: Dutch)

   Necropolis, Golgotha, Sepulcheria, Polyandrium (theme: synonyms for graveyard)

   Rokk, Stone Town, Thin Man's Pass, The Pits (theme: names of local mountain landmarks)

   Anarchia, Chaos Rifts, Hostility, Law (Synonyms for chaos, "law" is ironic)

   Burning City, Hell's Gate, Feuer, Volcanic Isle (Theme: stuff I didn't come up with)

   The Cliffside, Core, Achromasia Caverns (Literally, Caverns of the Albinos), Levity (A weird city with upside down gravity)  (No theme)

   Nature's Heart, Eden's Altar, Cocoon, Álfheimr (Theme: Meh, three of them were already done.  Alfheimr is the land of elves according to Norse Mythology, which I always thought went with life because of Yggdrasil,  Still, "Nature's Heart" is lame.  If I could change that to Yggdrasil it'd kick ass.)

   Solarus, Kingdom of Seraphs, Illuminatis, Prismia (theme: literal light)

   Mirage, Shifting Sands, Traveler's salvation (an oasis), Still Dune (theme: desert)

   Aquarius, Poseidon's Gate, Azure Deep, the Cetus River Delta (theme: Graeco-roman gods)

 Other: Outlaw City, Omniton, Rebel Outpost

I guess a Latin or Greek theme fits quite well, so I came up with these:

Chronium, Imerium, Dekaetia, Etospolis


Using a simple method:

English	Time	Era	Decade	Year	Day	Hour
Greek	χρόνοs	Εποχή	δεκαετία	έτοs	ημέρα	ώρα
Transliteration	Chronos	Epochi	Dekaetia	Etos	Imera	Ora
Cityfication	Chronium	Epochium	Dekaetia	Etospolis	Imerium	Oraville

Then add some 'townish' suffixes based on these:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-polis
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-ium
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-ville
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-ton
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-llinen
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-inen

I especially like Imerium, because in German 'immer' means 'always'.
It's also funny that -ium suffix has a meaning connected to elements.

EDIT: Added Dekaetia
EDIT2: Added Epochium at zac333's request.

A lot of people did in the other thread, but it probably won't be in the game.
