City Name Generators

[ifspuds]

I know of a few name generators out there on the web for people's names, but does anyone know of a name generator for cities? I'm working on a fictional world league and while I have the 16 cities that will be fielding teams, I need a number of extra city names for minor league teams as well as origins for the Originator.

Anyone know of such a thing? Alternately, feel free to toss up some fictional city names in this thread.

For reference, the 16 existing cities are named: Deepvale, Elliott Springs, Allison, Haystack, Gentry Hills, Fanning Island, Land's Edge, Marsein, Lorris, River Bend, North Reach, Pelish, Silver Beach, Talbot's Pass, Valerma and Tifton.

Cool. That should at least give me some ideas to tweak. Thanks!

This is fine thread that might help you with town creations:

Go to this great site for nicknames....use the names of the teams that use the nicknames listed for the cities.

http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/9735/

for instance under the first nickname in the letter "A"...under the nickname A's...

you could make: Bailey's Harbor A's...Clarinda A's...Kawaskum A's...or use the great idea Sandman suggested...Baileyville...Clarindale...North Harbor...Harbordale...Harborville...Clarin Valley...Clarintown...Clarinton

Under the letter "B"...under the nickname Badgers...you could come up with these: Brock...Brockton...Brockville...North Brocktown...Snow Valley...Snowton...Snowville...Snowdale...Snow Springs...Cascade Valley...Cascade...Benton...Bentondale...Bentonvil le...Benton Valley...South Benton...Bentonfield...Lake Eudora...Snow Lake...Benton Harbor...Benton Bluffs...Snowridge...Lake Blanco...Blanco Lake...Mont Blanco...Blancoville...Blanco Mountain...Benton Crossing...Benton Pass...Benson City.

Thanks for the link, Eugene. I'd done something like this for a handful of cities, but I was getting tired of the repetition of it all and needed something to jog my brain into a different track. When you're looking to generate 100+ city names, a long litany of Wherevertons and Whatvilles gets a little exhausting.

But, between this and the generators andjbock suggested, I think I've got my city list.

I am looking forward to seeing the completion of your league. It sounds like a great one.
