Isn't it funny how we translate countries' names but not cities' names? Like, "Brasil" becomes Brazilin English, but fuck it, Rio de Janeiro doesn't become "January River", Salvador doesn't become "Savior", Feira de Santana doesn't become "Saint Anne's Fair" and São Paulo doesn't become "St. Paul". Same for Nihon/Nipon -> Japan and Kyoto -> Kyoto. I just think is neat.

Ideas for Town and/or Street Names:

Religious Figures

Holidays

The place the group who gave it its accepted name came from

Stick “New” on the front of it

Local geography

Locations - real, mythological/religious

Historical Figures

Local Important People - ex: my ancestors sold their farm to the local municipality so the town could expand, and main street is now named after them

Events

Stick “City” on the end of it

Stick “~ton” on the end of it

Religious Themes

Repeat names you like

I'm not a fan of calling many places in the USA by the names they were given. No, it's not New York, New England, Comerica Stadium, Little Caesar's Arena, Clarksville, Evansville, Indianapolis (Indians!), Columbus... no, it's not U.S Bank Stadium, Evanston, Lincoln, Washington, Franklin, Clinton. Also, it's not 'Victoria' as far as the rest of the world goes. Get a real name.

Georgetown, Bristol, Manchester USA -- no thanks.

It is usually a sign of a death of an idea, or a hypocrisy of tribute when people built commemorative statue about a person.

Matthew 23

29 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. 30 And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Go ahead, then, and complete what your ancestors started!

mcyt fics are crazy because you’ll be reading the most devastating, distressing, life-altering angst and the character will be named mumbo jumbo.

#or the city will be named boomerville #dsmp #mcyt #hermitcraft #mcyt fic

Prompt 218

“Moom, there’s yellow-eyed creeps fighting ninjas outside the window again!”��

Danny sighed, taking a deep breath- in for ten, out for eight- as he set the pot he was cleaning back in the sink. Dan- currently six- came running in from the living room of the apartment, where he was watching TV. Or he should have been if not for the bullshit outside.

He sighed again, picking up baby Ellie- currently closer to two- out of her highchair (even if she could just float out) and let his oldest drag him to the window. Sure enough, another fight was happening, with no vigilante in sight stopping it. Look, he knew most people didn’t live here, but it was still rude.

“Jordan, remember how I told you how violence isn’t always the answer?” Danny asked sweetly, Dan’s expression shifting to a wicked grin as he opened the window. “Feel free to practice tossing some fireballs while I clean up your sister, yeah?”

Ah, the sweet sound of surprised cursing and startled ecto-signatures. Maybe they’d be polite enough to take their spar elsewhere.
