[QUOTE="Woas, post: 3006691, member: 16317"] Wow, I'm really cheesey with names because I've actually used [i]names of real cheeses[/i] in my game! :) They tend to be the more 'fancy' cheese names so my players never know. I've tried making more unique names for places/regions/towns/individual NPCs in my games, but I find my players just end up forgetting them and just giving them their own names like "The place we got those magic items. You know, from the old guy with the beard". So I stopped doing that and just give places names that are easier to remember like Bellhold or Sagebush and hte like. I don't think of these kinds names (standard noun-verbish type names) as 'cheesey' at all but actually make for better verisimilitude since the players will actually remember and use them, and not reduce unique names like Port Sizaddunzûl to "That place where there is a big enough temple to get raised."
