[QUOTE="JohnLynch, post: 6766172, member: 6749563"] I too hate real words being mashed together or some so called "real person" like Baldur's Gate or Werewoods. And what's worse is that Salt Lake City place or Boulder Mountains. We get it, it's a city on a salt lake and it's a mountain range with some boulders. Not exactly original there. And definitely don't get me started on "The Town of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels of the Porciúncula River" otherwise known as "Queen of the Angels". That's just a stupid name. And what about Washington? What sort of name is Washington? I instantly start thinking of African American movie stars when I hear a name like washington and it totally ruins my immersion. I get it, it's named after some old hero of the area or something. But what was it called before then? The City that Has No Name? Or maybe they just called it "The City" and everyone was eagerly awaiting some hero to come along that they could name the city after. I mean. I can understand one or two places named like that on the continent. But America... err.. I mean Faerun just has way too many as it is. They should totally think of some more original names.
