A New Town (Name Suggestions wanted)!

I've had an idea (shock horror!) for a new town, and I think it would look pretty good. I haven't decided on a name yet, but I intend to build it somewhere on the server. So... I've got a design (and will put up pictures/links to pictures soon) but I need a name and location suggestions (and people to sell/give me materials if I need them :P )

The town itself contains ten plots, with a tower/keep at one end which serves as a town hall (with me living at the top ), a main road with the plots along it and a small square with exits to the left and right.

Edit: The pictures I've got are too big to be uploaded directly onto the forums, so I'll link to them on Deviantart... after I've signed up :( )

Edit: Here's a link to the folder where the screenshots can be found.

I was quite pleased to find that within 5 minutes of existing, one of the images had been favourited :)

I've put up a poll, with all of the names suggested so far that I particularly liked.

A name exuding style and class, yet delightfully understated and subtle. I like it :P

Yeah, I don't particularly want a cliche name. If I get a few suggestions I might do a poll, I guess.

If you want you can build your town inside corona, i have wanted to start on building the town but never got around to it. We can change the name aswell if you want. The town layout is a little different but if your interested pm me.

Thank you for the offer, but I'd ideally like to keep it seperate. Perhaps it could be nearby and some sort of "Sister City" deal could be sorted. (Yay for talking semi-politically about Minecraft?)

I genuinely have no idea as to where I am going to put this, hence my request for suggestions. Can I have co-ordinates for Corona, and I'll take a look around the surrounding countryside.

Could you be so kind and show Tyrese where mill city is? Corona is just 20 seconds away from there

I'd say that they were fairly obscure names, except perhaps for Fort, as I've only seen them in one series of books. Tyrese may well know which ones.
[sarcasm] ha ha ha haa [/sarcasm] in advance.

I think that just sounds a bit like the planet Naboo, from the phantom menace.

I like Town.

EDIT (01.02.13): did I genuinely say "from the phantom menace"? How have I been so silly?

With regards to the location, I've decided that it will be in Terra somewhere, as along the "Diagonals" at least it appears to be less crowded than Fyra. I've been wandering around, looking for Mill City but since I hardly ever go to Terra I got lost. If and when I find Corona I'll look around there, but at least I've narrowed down which world it will be in...

If you want REALLY generic names look no further than Eragon. The names of the characters and towns are ridiculous!
On a more topical note, how about you name it after your house or something. Brownville? Holmerton? maybe.

A thought occurs. I may wait 'till the new world arrives, and get all of my materials ready to start when the new world arrives (If what I've read from the "DO NOT UPDATE" thread serves me well) so that I can have a better pick as to where it goes :)

Edit: This is going to be build as a floating district of HarbourTown, due to overly generous offers for materials etc. :P I may build a land-based version of these for the new world as and when I feel like it, but at the moment it is more practical for me to do it in a popular and well-funded area. I know this goes against everything I've said re: Terra or the new world, but a good oppurtunity has arisen. It will still be named after the poll winners.

sorry, just saw the poll. Yeah, DH was going to be near Harbourtown.
