Name that city!

Recommended Posts

What flavour do we want? Civilized? Alien? Something that evokes an outpost feel? Something that evokes class? A trading port feel, since we're ITC?

Random suggestions:

Kathedra (From Ex Cathedra, a synonym for Imperial)

Cognizenti, or some variation (######ization of Cognocenti, which means Cream of the Crop or High Class, essentially...it just sounds like something Lucas would think of as a city or planet)

Could not locate any synonyms of Trade to mutate.

Also, arious descriptive words can be tacked onto the end of something, as well, such as *'s Reach, *'s Cross, etc

Ok, not much in way of suggestions, but we're about to get hit with calls at work. :) Will think on some more.

Markham! No.. Bad Hubby! None of that Shining Twilight or Volcano Ville!

Volcano! started cuz we finally ate at this resturaunt near our house "Rainforest Cafe" and they have this desert called the Volcano and when someone orders it, they come out yelling VOLCANO!!!!

Shining Twilight is a bit more personal... just the Tolkien meaning of my name SILUIAL ... it's be nice but too silly =)

Something more... Star Wars, Imperial-ish but not.. We don't want to stick out to the rebels.

My suggestions:

Edan, Celtic meaning Fiery, Zealous

Eitan, Hebrew meaning Strong, Firm

Ravid, Hebrew meaning Wander

Was thinking of combining them.. like:

Ravid Eitan

Ok, doing that, it sounds dumb.. hehe.. Or playing around with the names.

Eitania

Edanian

or something

Here's some ideas...

Nundinae (latin)- market-day; the market-place; traffic , trade, business

Astu (latin)- A City

(I'm not a latin expert so when it comes to putting those two words together I'm not sure if it's that easy, most likely not. But then again what does it matter?)

Stad (dutch)- City

Keizer (dutch)- Imperial

Handel (dutch)- Trade

Zaken (dutch)- business

Huis (dutch)- home

Stad Van Zaken (dutch)- "City of Business"

Handels Stad (dutch)- "Trade City"

Stad Van Het Imperium (dutch)- "City of the Empire"

I"ll keep trying to come up with more...I just wanted to give a base, and contribute to the brain-storming. I personally think "Nundinae Astu" (trade city) rocks...it fits in with Naboo and the other city names there...Moenia I found out means "the walls or fortifications of a city , ramparts, bulwarks"; "castle, dwelling" in latin.

hell maybe even "Nundastu" would work.
