Fantasy City 

by ILuvDragons

Dear Author,

I'm doing a fantasy novel, and I need a name for the main character's home city. I don't want you to make one up, just please tell me what you normally do when you think of names.

​

Dear Dragons,

      A lot of the time I use the site thesaurus.com to find a word that is related to the thing I need a name for. Say your city is right atop a coal mine, you would find a word meaning 'coal' or 'mine.' Anthracite was a name that popped up for 'coal.' If you don't like whatever word you got, you could always use Google Translate and find a Latin word. (But before you use whichever word you picked, you might want to switch around the vowels and add some letters here and there.)
