    Hmm. Maybe we should start a 'Name Suggestion' thread, and after it fills up sufficiently, I could turn it into a Challenge.

    That could work and/or use a random name generator.

    don't forget some bodies of water in the names too.
    Bays, gulfs, seas, etc.
    That may make for some fun to see how we each see what shapes those might take.

    And Mouse - I laughed at Emineminal... Eminem in All
    You a secret rap fan ?
    Oh, and Cheesta... I'm seein' some hip hop here - Cheese Star... Cheestah

    I like rap rhythms, though I listen more to the rhythm than the words. The pattern recognition part of my brain seems to latch onto the rhythm like some kind of drug!

    I shouldn't complain, I guess, since its also the part of my brain that generates all the new names I use for my maps. They come in long rhythmical strings that are not a lot unlike rap:

    Tistupala, Rustapini, Gradipalo, Runipalo, Gorgarino, Berunabi... Cratzabino, Ngorino, Mbarina, Kriss....

    and so on.

    About 1 in 50 are ok. I just have to try and pick the good ones out of the rubbish. My favourite from that little string is Berunabi, which to me sounds like it might be an abandoned settlement just waiting to be discovered in a dense and unexplored tropical jungle.

    This is a really intriguing idea. Chashio, would you provide an image with the labels placed? Or would someone else do it?

    I love this idea!!! And I would love to take part... as long as it's after the holiday season! In fact, this last challenge map is my last map of the year, I have too many Christmas gifts to finish (I make most of mine)!

    Some names to think about: Kynlarra, Monteniil, Crystis, Kordorak, Enleina, Vishtok, Untuuk, Morgetlaan, Evenest, Verkshire, Elderyl

    Ocean/Sea names: Aquilaran, Mindaran, The Great Silt Sea, Sylven, Ovurk, Montash, and Mystel

    J.Edward helped set one up and passed me the file to share as needed, and I had another sketched out by the time he finished. So, options... hopefully sometime you or another CL can take a look and decide which might work best and if any adjustments should be made. Yes?
