Finding a name for a new settlement
Choosing a name is a crucial part of a settlement's persona. To find a name that fits, consider:
- Is the name optimistic, or does it sound grim and foreboding?
- Does it hint at a particular landmark or resource?
- Should it include references to the pre-war world?
- Does it evoke a sense of safety and community?
- How does it compare to other settlement names from the Fallout universe?
