Any faves of these? Any you would add or could see using in your WIP?? Do you like the idea of place name? What genre(s) would you use a place name in?
I like Indiana because the nickname Indie would work well. And Valencia could be Val. I like all thename, though. I just like finding nicknames for people, lol.
ReplyDeleteYay for more places names! These are SO fun! I especially loooove Brunswick! It sounds like a great steampunk name. Like an airship captain or something? Or is that just me? Lol. I don't know, but I LOVE it! :D
