    Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.

    Please, don't! If you start combining random words together in a language you don't understand, you run the risk of accidentally coming up with rather offensive/overly stupid names.

    One of my classmates is from Japan, and one of his friends created an "English" world, with "English style names". One of the highlights I can remember:

    Lake-upon-pond (It was at the top of a mountain)

    The other 'good ones' would likely get me banned from the forums. (But many involved a misunderstanding on a few English words, the majority of them referencing a rooster. He just liked how that word sounded apparently.)
