How can I come up with good fake city names for a story?

Fantasia City. It's a place full of magic, where every building is made of crystal and the streets are paved with glittering gems.

Some good fake city names could be 'Mysterville', 'Sunnydale', 'Mooncrest'.

Look at nature for inspiration. Names like Willow, Ivy, or Daisy can give a natural and earthy feel to a character. You can also use old - fashioned names and give them a new twist. For example, take the name Matilda and shorten it to Tilly for a more modern - sounding name. Additionally, think about the time period or setting of your story. If it's set in a medieval world, names like Guinevere or Isolde would be fitting.

One way is to combine words that evoke certain moods or settings. For example, if you want a spooky town, you could use 'Shadow' and 'Falls' to make 'Shadowfalls'. Or if you want a more idyllic town, 'Sun' and 'Meadow' to get 'Sunmeadow'. Another method is to use words from different languages. The French word for 'flower' is 'fleur', so you could make a town name like 'Fleurville' for a town that's full of flowers. You can also use alliteration like 'Bluebell Bay' which is easy to remember and sounds nice.

Willowbrook High. 'Willow' gives an image of something natural and gentle, while 'brook' adds a touch of a serene location for the school.

One method is to distort real drug names slightly. If there's a real drug called 'Aspirin', you could make it 'Aspironex'. You can also take common medical terms like 'hypertension' and create a drug name from it, such as 'Hypercure'. And don't forget to consider the target of the drug in your story. If it's for the brain, something like 'Cerebrofix' could work.

Enchanted Marketplace. This name makes it seem like the mall has a touch of magic. There might be small, artisanal shops selling hand - made crafts and unique trinkets. Also, it could have a garden area in the middle with beautiful flowers and fountains.

Think about the characteristics of the city. If it's a city surrounded by mountains, you could call it 'Montclair' which combines 'mont' (mountain) and 'clair' (clear). It gives an image of a city with clear views of the mountains. You can also use alliteration. If it's a bustling, busy city, 'Brimstone Bay' has a nice ring to it with the repeated 'b' sound and gives the idea of a city by a bay that has a lot going on.
