Finding Your New Home
A settlement name in the apocalypse reflects the hopes and fears of its inhabitants. As you generate, consider:
- Does the name hint at its location or its past life?
- Does it convey a sense of safety, danger, or a new beginning?
- Should it sound like a fortress, a community, or a temporary camp?
- What kind of story does a name like "Miami Citadel" suggest?
- How does the name reflect the ideals or struggles of the people within its walls?
