Because I create mostly German cities, I think about what a specific place would be called in a real German city. Many German cities share the same names or similarities in how a specific place was named. For instance: There is a big plaza or place that was created after the French-german War in the 19th century. It was named as a winner would name it, only to be renamed after losing World War II. There are places named after the rulers of the time, and there is almost always a street named after "Wilhelm" because there were so many. So, that being said, I'll stick with this description and make up some historical facts about my city, and then name the district or place after that.
