English City Names ... December 05, 2008, 02:26:38 am I can't read German very well - but looking through the German forums with some help from Google Translate I found a post from sojo about city names that I thought was worth posting on the international forums. (Also saw a post saying that help with texts would be appreciated due to a lack of free time)(sojo - correct me If I haven't understood correctly, or if you have already made a list)original - http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/thread.php?threadid=3266The summary seems to be:Most city names should try to be fantasy namesNo brand namesThe core development team should have cities named after them - e.g. "Brosestadt" ~ "Brosetown"I don't know if the German names translate into English directly, but these are rough translations of some of them:Code: [Select]Rocky LakeFox MountainGeese home Hamster houseMousehole (I prefer the name "Mousehall" I think)Plunder VillageLumber City Miracle VillageSwamp LakeI can't tell which other cities are named after people, but "sojo city" seems to have a ring to it Has anyone got any ideas - or better translations? By the look of it, there aren't city lists for other languages either ... Quote Selected
Re: English City Names ... Reply #1 – December 05, 2008, 09:47:18 am I don't know why you prefer Mousehall over Mousehole, apart from Mousehole being an existing placename in Cornwall: http://www.cornwall-online.co.uk/westcornwall/mousehole.htm. A very pretty village by the way... Quote Selected
