    That's why I prefer to just go generic like Nation 1, Nation 2, etc. I hate coming up with stuff only to find out later that it's too similar to something else. I never have to struggle with naming things that way either. If I feel particularly inspired I'll name some stuff but, in the end, all of the stuff that I make up will never be used for anything so why bother taxing my brain trying to come up with names.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
    -J. Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atom bomb) alluding to The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32)

    The last time I felt that way, I just wrote a quick and dirty little name generator. I even coupled it to another little program that would look through an SVG file looking for the strings "Elf Town" and "Dwarf Town" and replace them with names from the appropriate made up language automatically.
