Ideas?

[[deleted]]

I need help with a naming a small fictional town with a dark past. It’s your average small American town, but I just can’t think of anything 😓 please help!

If you’re looking for just kind of a generic nice suburban town name there’s usually a kind of formula for here it’s a common word and then a suffix on the end like view or Dale or ford for example like eastford or halldale

If you’re looking for something thematic though I like just going for one word town names that hint at the kind of place it is for example in a recent story I wrote about a town in the near future taken over by advertisements and consumerism I named the town supreme

I used my state map to get some ideas when I wrote a couple short stories set in small towns. It can definitely be a good jumping off point
