I named mine Haven, because I'm a huge Stephen King fan and because I couldn't fit Middlebrook (which is the name of the town where all of my short stories take place- because I'm lame I like having one town that I created be the scene of EVERYTHING.)
What's your town name and why?

I'm asexual as heck, and I love cutesy, rhyming names, so I named mine AcePlace, and my town flag is the asexual flag with a slice of cake on it, which is a symbol of the asexual community. CX

The 'a' is missing because ONLY 8 CHARACTERS ARE ALLOWED

Skyworld. I just came up with it randomly when I started playing Wild World, and it's stuck since. Thinking of naming my next town something different for the next game though.

I named my Town after my favorite flower!
My first town name is called Kenka, which means quarrel or fight in Japanese. It's also a bar I used to live close to in the East Village when I lived in NYC. I made my town the night I got back from that bar and it's the first thing that came to mind. I originally wanted to fill it with crankies but I ended up with a more even distribution of villagers. It's kind of Japanese-themed but my houses don't really have a theme.
My second town is Suspiria, named after my favourite horror movie by Dario Argento. I'm going to make one part of the town fairytale/modern and the other part foresty and witchy. I'm going to try and make all the paths so they resemble stuff from the movie and hopefully get round to designing the houses similarly (I always lose interest around the home designing part because I get too overwhelmed :<)

My town is named Hell, which has along story behind it. Basically, the gist of it is there's an inside joke in my friend group where whenever anything bad happens we go "welcome to hell!" and I wanted my town to commemorate our stupidity aha
I named my first NL town RGB, for Red Green Blue. I thought as someone into graphic design, RGB was kind of unique as a town name, and I'd have three PCs each themed after one color. Man, that was stupid. When I came back to my game recently, I realized I hated that name.
My new town is named Ar?ma. It was one of the first ideas I came up with, trying to think of simple words and town names that I liked the sound of. But I didn't want another mistake, so I spent another couple hours with an online thesaurus and a notebook brainstorming other ideas first. I really liked the idea of something scent-based though, because I feel like the sense of smell is underappreciated. I like that aroma can reference flowers, food, and atmosphere, and it's a simple word too. I didn't want anything too long or complex.
I added the little v accent to the o because apparently that's what they use for the French word, arome, and the name of my mayor has a similar accent in one of their letters. So they kind of match? Hahaha, I don't know.

Milk Tea because I wanted there to be a Milk Tea Museum *v* basically I saw tons of screencaps of people naming their towns strange things so the Museum would be named funny, so I chose something cute that I like! :3

Oranje because I love oranges/the color orange and wanted to be fancy. :') Turns out that lots of people think I'm dutch because that's orange in their language? My second town is Hillwood because it's Hey Arnold themed and that's the name of the city the cartoons takes place in. 
My town's name is Belhaven. Or Bell's Haven. It's just coincidence that one of my go-to character names happens to be a currency. And I see that little town as a kind of safe haven, which also works double as the name for a port town. Plus Bell also means beauty, or could reference the actual bell that chimes out the hours. There's lots of possible little meanings to the name if I stop to think about it, which I really like.

Lorrelai it's a misspelling of the main girls in Gilmore Girls because I love that show and Star Hollows didn't fit

Lilymoor because I love lilies and moors and they both sound great!
My older town is Cocoplum. I was looking for flower and plant names and this one just struck me as ideal. My newer town is Paradise, named after my favorite cult film of the seventies, Phantom of the Paradise.
Belle of Pripyat
Funky Town
I named my town Pripyat, where the Chernobyl nuclear disaster happened. I even created my town on April 26. (It happened on April 26, 1986.) However, my town is not a ghost town!
