Although goddesses and queens (such as Charlotte, Elizabeth, and Victoria) all have plenty of towns named for them, this isn't a feminine or courtly sort of place. It's very industrial, and its patron is more apt to be Vulcan. (I'm using the Roman rather than the Greek name, since the town is laid out on a nice grid preferred by Roman engineers all over The Known World.) Vulcanville Lossun Foundry Weyland's Worke Now the punster in me would strike further afield. Tubitton, for example. Two bits = a quarter and this town is made of quarters. Of course, the eight pieces of a dollar were also called reals... so there is another tie to "real estate". But, for saleability, something more obvious will be needed. Carolly
