Summary0003360: US 2000s region names.
DescriptionThis follows a similar pattern to the forest names, in 0003353, but with a few changes. Make sure and do the forest or another similar region first, so you know that pattern, then come back here for the changes.

First of all, please note that this is referring to modern towns from the US. So they should sound plausible for towns in the US, which is fairly easy because US towns have so many crazy names. Everyone in NC loves to make fun of Lizardslick over in the mountains, for instance.

Anyway, these use a new pattern for the naming. Rather than having two-word names, these are two-part single names. So there are two folders of relevance:

US2000sNounPart1
US2000sNounPart2

The format for the names generated by these are always

US2000sNounPart1(no space or anything)US2000sNounPart2

So if you have Lizards in part 1, and lick in part 2, it makes Lizardslick.

Mostly what I put in part 2 are things like ville, opolis, burg, and so forth -- fairly prosaic postfixes. I'm sure you can think of more, but I'd be surprised if we can get more than about 20 of them. Here again if there are some that are really not that great, but which do provide variety, then feel free to duplicate the better ones some so that they occur more frequently.

Then in part 1, that's really the noun proper. So I have things like North, South, Wen, etc. You wind up with Northville, and Wenopolis, etc. Some of those are likely to sound a bit weird, but you can minimize that by never ending these in an o (or you get things like Rondo + opolis = Rondoopolis, which sounds odd even though Rondoville would work). Anyway, so I'd like the usual 200-500 names for part 1.
