Ha ha. As titled... of all your wonderful and amazing cities, which name do you like best?

Don't just name a city just because it has like a million population or really cool things...
 
the question is: proudest NAME
 
so yeaa
 
lol
 
for me i like Calaprocita (I don't know why but it sounds cool)44.gif

I think my favourite city name I have come up with has to be Blue Coast. Its only about 1/10 of the pop of my largest, but I REALLY love the name. The city itself isn't too bad either.
 
EDIT: This isn't about SC4 cities? Oh darn, well I'd probably have to say then, Kirkland, a suburb of Montreal near the western tip of the Island.

The Capital City of Kaneone

Pronounced Can-Own, the city is the Capital of Isla de Suenos and is quite possibly my proudest city name. I think its grand and suits the city completely, especially with the palace which is in the city.

    Ive been through quite a few actually, but here are some of them:
    Stondon(My largest city yet, built late 2004, rebuilt early 2005)

    In Fwandrei i had 4 towns, Chintose and Fujian beeing those with the nicest names.

    Then came Shion, built this summer and is still beeing built on

    But the name i like the absolutey most is Evarin, showcased in Pakkusena and its probably the most fun city ive ever built, and still am building offcource ^^ The name is a japanisation of my area name, Evlinge.

    Cheers

    My favorite name so far would be from my last CJ, a development called Thirty Oaks, which is a real place in Maryland as well. I had a theme where almost all the names had plants in them, like Daphne Straits, Cattail Landing, Woodruff, Cranberry Harbor, Tamarisk, etc. But I also like my new region, New Kakerori, where all the names are Hawaiian or Polynesian. 2.gif

    You're right about Calaprocita.

    I always use the same names, I call the big tile Union City and little ones like Ariadne and Tallulah. I also find Thomas Hardy's Wessex to be filled with good names.

    I try to name my cities by the landmarks in within the city.  I have a city named Vesuvia with a dormant volcano (Mount Penance) in it.  There's a city with that has two rivers in it called River City (home of the Simleague Champion River City Rebels baseball team).  My farm region is called Solaren (so.LAR.in).  A city built on the small grid is called Littlefield.  I think my favorite city name though would be Devil's Peak.  It is home to Horne Mountain which splits into two seperate peaks.  That one or Sedgewick.  That city started when that new series was starting on TNT,  and I heard Kyra Sedgewick's name like 20 times a day.  I started thinking, Hmm,  Sedgewick would make a pretty good city name.
