Wow, I wasn't even in this forum yet and you were already suggesting my first city name suggestion in both the original SPDG and the first ISDG.

A few suggestions, borrowed from classical Greek cities:

--Chaeronea (battle where Alexander the Great beat the rest of the Greeks)
--Piraeus (port city of Athens)
--Potidaea (Corinthian colony, where the Peloponnesian Wars broke out)
--Phaistos (Minoan city)
--Pylos (City on the Peloponnesus)

If I had to pick one over the others, it'd be Chaeronea. Preferably in territory we conquer from someone else.

I reccommend this site for those wanting detail on the Greek pantheon:

http://www.loggia.com/myth/myth.html

It's where I'm posting this quick bits from. Athena and Eos are particular favorites of mine

Good for military/captued cities:

Eris | goddess who personified discord or strife
Nemesis | the goddess of retribution
Nike | goddess of victory

Athena | goddess of wisdom, war, and crafts; patron of Athens (good foran eraly city and/or science city)
Eunomia | goddess who personified discipline or good government (maybe for the FP city)
Artemis | goddess of the hunt and protector of children (good for a forested food city)
Poseidon | god of the sea and earthquakes (post city with a volcano near maybe, or fist port city)
Hephaistos | god of smiths and metal-workers (good for a Iron Works or other high production city)
Dionysos | god of wine, mysteries, and the theatre (a must for a wine city if we have more nearby; good palce to home Shakespeare's if we get that far )

Great for maybe the first cities in those directions, or at the furtherst point in that direction of our lands:
Hesperus | the evening star
Eos | goddess of the dawn
Boreas | god of the north wind
Zephyrus | god of the west wind

I'll stop there before I go through the whole pantheon

Bump - I will be doing a new thread shortly specifically for city number two (my idea is to post a poll for each city name). Figured I would bring this back from the dead and let people get started again on ideas. Only a couple of turns to go boys and girls til city 2 is here....

Let's call our 3rd city, if it is on the sea, "Poseidon" (after the god of the sea).

"Poseidon Harbour" as for the third city

Just bumping this. We are about 5 turns from another Settler out of Poly, so it's time to get cracking on the next name.

I certainly want a city near a Mountain named Thermopylae, after the most heroic ancient age defense on record. A few hundred Spartans held off thousands off Persians for long enough for a combined Greek army to escape unharmed.

If the city is on a river:

"Thetis" - after Achilles' mother. She held him by the ankle in a river to give him large powers.

If the city is on the sea:

"Galatea" - after the sea nymph, daughter of Poseidon.


edit: Please stick to the Greek theme!!

interesting point that you raise here

well one of the joys we have in our Democracy is the Poll.

so we can stand fast for the traditions of the old country, or we can take new roads and thus new paths for this great civilization

either way I believe that we will continue to grow and stand united in the face of those other civs

True, but naming our cities after doughnuts won't be as cool.

well you say

Yet this name was put forward by a Senator, a Citizen (lookout, even a Consul )

So please understand that I am not the ultimate judge here

I have a position of selecting names that are put forward

And I have vowed to give everybody / every suggestion an opportunity at some stage in the polls

So we will need lots of cities

Simple old "Miltos" (red earth) for a city in CDG's area once we take it over.

And since out Capital was remaped for 'Poly, we need an Athenae somewhere to honor the goddess and patron of Greece's finest city
