The names of the cities in my fictional league, some of which I've gotten from fictional sources, are: Arlen, Brennen, Eastwick, Lawson, Middleton, Oakdale.

Check out the cities in the DC Comics World.

Here are some of the one's I use for my fictional solo league. I admit to stealing some city names so a few might sound familiar!
Troy Knights
Liberty Generals
Dayton Missions
Medicine Bay Explorers
Oceanport Sea Dogs
Kingsport Mariners
South Point Lookouts
Matterhorn Navigators
Old Fort Rangers
Lassitter Militia
Bakersfield Giants
Anitoch Greys
Denville Nine
Columbus Merchants
New Yates Titans
Federal City Athletics
Fort Collins Cavalry
Portsmouth Clippers

I have a spreadsheet of all of the city names in the US. They might be useful if you are looking for "non-traditional" city names. Some of them at least sound fictional...

There's some premade fictional leagues over on OOTPdownloadcenter.

Pick a tree name - any tree name, then add either wood, dale, field, creek behind it. Example OAKDALE, MAPLEWOOD, PINE CREEK.

Pick nature - add field, ville, view or a persons name behind it. Example SPRINGFIELD, MEADOWVIEW, LAKE CHARLES, ROCKVILLE....

Select a US President and add ville, or heights, or park. EXAMPLE CLINTONVILLE, LINCOLN HEIGHTS, KENNEDY PARK, or leave the name be the city - MADISON, JEFFERSON, BUSH.....

I have a ten team fictional league with the following names:

San Diego Beachcombers - named after my favorite bar in Mission Beach
Las Vegas Gamblers
Miami Smugglers
Camden Criminals - after Camden was recently listed as the most dangerous city in the country.
Minneapolis North Stars - after the North Stars of the NHL that left for Dallas.
Dallas Outlaws - I wanted to use Cowboys after watching the movie Tombstone, but that's already taken.
Omaha Tornadoes
Birmingham Barons
Clearwater Cannonballers - I did a cannonball run to Clearwater 6 years ago.
Can't remember the last team

Pick a state and use city names just from that state.

Mr 69 posts comes in here and asks for help then cuts down the people who answer him. No one knows what you wanted and I for one thought his respose was clever.

I have a been using a spreadsheet that has over 700 names in a table. The nickname will have a value by it for the number of chances that the name will come up.

The spreadsheet has a front worksheet that you enter the number of teams that you have in your league. Press CTRL-SHIFT-L and a list with 5 columns of names appear. Say team one is from MILWAUKEE, and row 1 has the following names in it. ROCKIES, SMOKERS, RED SOX, FALCONS, GOLDEN EAGLES. This gives you 5 names to chose from. I usually pick the default in column 1, but sometimes the name does not fit the team and I then select the next value.......Very easy to use...

I have attached the file but it does REQUIRE MS EXCEL XP and the analysis pack loaded. It may also work with EXCEL 2000 but I am not sure.....

To USE simply enter the number of teams then. hit the CTRL-SHIFT-L and a list of names will appear....

That doesn't have Terror Lake, New Horrorfield or Screamville. Hardly comprehensive.
