Don't you think its best to name it based on the lore of your RPG? Its always weird to ask names of towns for your rpgs since others have no idea about your rpg.

Hehe yeah that's true but as you can see i wan't to ask other players suggestions because my project is based on occupying the time of every player. That's why im asking people what they like so players can connect with the name of the town, (i know people have there own thoughts but i have to ask what should i name because i want them to help me what is the base of imagination of every player)

in my rpg i name the cities to the main thing there....for examle the capital city where the kings castle is placed is named Kingston....and a religious city is named Churchill....so i try to make the names fit to the theme of the city but also sound a bit fantasy like and real-city like...

so whats the main thing in your city or the main aspect of your city?

The town is very contradicting. The basic shape is a perfect and clean rectangle yet the streets are all over the place.

I would advise reshaping the island to feel more natural or building the town in a much more organized way (with less grass as the amount of deveomment to build a perfect square would generally envolve the place being heavilly built up).

What I like doing when naming towns in Warcraft is using words from elven, orcish or troll language or whatever the racial group the town belongs to. Or you could also use the name of an important character in the lives and history of the inhabitants or the whole race in general.

I'll assume it's an elven town because of the structures. The Sunwell-like structure in the middle of the town is the most noticable structure, so we'll use that to.

Since many high elven towns use the word "Quel'" I'll assume it means "town" or city. And since "Sun" means "Belore" in the High Elven tongue, I could call the town Quel' Belore or Quel' Belor.

Since "Light" is "Alah", according to the wowwiki, You could call it Quel' Alah.

Actually I just found that "Quel'" means High, "Thalas" meaning Home or Kingdom but, I think the names above are still usable.

I just find it fun reaserching about the languages and trying to come up with relatively translatable (Is that a word?) names.
