ad_hoc
(they/them)
Sarcasm aside, just take one look at the map of Faerun. You'll see the Serpent Hills, right next to the Trollhills and Trollbark Forest, The Forest of Wyrms, The Sunset Mountains, The Storm Horns, The Were Woods, The Cloud Peaks, The Snake Wood, The Giant's Run Mountains, The Daggerford, the Cloak Wood, The Sword Coast, The Star Mountains, The Lost Peaks, The High Forest, the Far Forest, The Scimitar Spires and the Border Forest.
And that is all within one region. Are you getting what I'm trying to say?
Now compare this with the names on the map of my home brew setting:
Thilneray, Talnmont, Guzeau, Ylm, Elsefort, Akhémur, Karunta, Kanswimar and Iggenstill.
The former sounds more natural and lived in to me. And they are easier to remember and visualize which is probably part of the reason why we name our cities this way. I grew up in a city called Belleville which simply means Beautiful City.
At best your names are clunky and forgetful to me. I would probably come up with my own names for the cities in game so that I can keep better track of them.
