Random City Names Based on English/United Kingdom Cities
For one (maybe two) of my other projects, I’m putting together some charts to randomly generate city names that are reminiscent of cities of varying cultures. The first charts I’ve done are English/United Kingdom city names. I’ve split up a number of the real city names, usually by syllable, then divided them into a random chart with three columns. There’s also a chart for determining which columns to use to assemble the syllables.
Using these charts you can get city names like: Covenfield, Winbury, Oxenpool, and Lanham. You may also get some bad results, but just re-roll or swap one syllable out. Or ignore the random rolls completely and just pick syllables that sound good together.
Thank you Joe. That’s a useful resource.
Interesting. I like random stuff.
I was always impressed with the English sounding town names in Transport Tycoon. Although I’ve just looked at the code for OpenTTD and it’s too madly complex to turn into RPG tables form, I’ll stick with yours!
Cheers!
