I Need Help Naming My City!

[mccoyamandamarie]

I'm working on my novel Dead Body Girl (an urban fantasy/horror story about a necromancer and her found family of zombies) and right now the name of the city that the story is set in is called Pine Harbor City. This fictional location is a medium sized city with a large bay and is on the west coast of the US about northern California/Southern Oregon. The problem with the current name is it sounds like a small town, not a well developed city. So here are the options I've come up with for names for the city. What do you think?

Tenebrea Bay

Nox Bay

Mors Bay

Please leave a comment below with your pick or suggestion of name not on the list!

I think Mors Bay is better than the other two ones.

May this help you!

Thank you so much! I had a good feeling about Mors Bay. FYI, Mors Bay comes from the ancient Greek god of death Mors, so it means Death Bay. I thought it was appropriate for a story about zombies.

I'll second Mors, although have you considered calling it Mors Cove? It would be a pun on Morse Code in addition to the Greek connection - and most people associate Morse Code with emergency communication.

Oo, that's a good point about Morse Code. I never thought about tying that into the name too. It could give the name a kind of dangerous, or thrilling vibe. That might go really well with the horror aspects of the story. Thanks for the suggestion!
