Tips from the World Master on good naming themes:

* Is it Gnomish? Make it long, and don't skimp on "g"s and "n"s! Feel free to give places non-gnomish "alternate" names.
* Is it Odessan? Make it just left of conventional. Boooring.
* Is it Ubrekti? Latin that shit up! -i, -ae, -us, etc make great endings here.
* Is it Fresian? -berg or -burg are always good, if predictable, suffixes for major towns. This would be a good place to put those Z's you've been holding on to. Austrian, Polish, & Germanic flavored names all work well here, but careful not to stray too far into the Slavic.
* Is it Petaran? Persian and Turkish traditions are good places to start.
* Is it Bedowyld? No, of course not, because they don't have cities! But, they still name stuff, and when they do it's an Arab/Mongol mashup.
* Is it Flannari? Frenchify that shit! I try to focus on the fruity endings: -aux, -ailles, etc.
* Is it Celstian? Gaelic mashup! The mountainy parts are more Scottish flavored, while the lowland and foresty parts are more Irish themed. I do believe the Gaelic language likes consonants.
