My d&d game tends to work better when I just name things like “The Nightmare Wood” and “The Old Hills”. The simplicity somehow lands harder.

My friends don't know anything about my hometown, so I just name everything after old street names or old parts of town.

Cabbageford

Blackstakes
Turnpike
Holyspring
Stepsstream
Canyard
Cattlestream Valley
On The Height
Cottageville
Stalkpond
Firecreek
Meadowsmill
Sticks
Bogbrook
Bogbridge
Kingsroad

It feels incredibly realistic, because it is.

Sometimes name it after a person, or some shit that went down there, especially if its not someplace important. Like its not the nightmare town, there's nothing particular about it. So it's susanstown, and attempts to discover local lore would find stories about the ancient founder that have been embellished over the years.

or invert it.. Nightmare Town is named because the founder had a nightmare the first night after establishing camp there, and nothing else. Susan's Hamlet, though had some real fucked up shit happen, is actively haunted and is the birthplace of the BBEG.

Sounds like you are describing Palpatine's dick.
