what do you call your lego city/ names for lego city?

[Peppermint_M]

Mursten. Take a guess on that one!

Or Castle Melyn is another I used.

That one is based on the fact that Welsh names for towns were sometimes anglicised not translated. Yellow Castle is Castell Melyn in Welsh and basic anglicised it becomes Castle Melyn

[LAKAbricks]

I've always loved the names of rural English villages, and my town is pretty small due to lack of space, so mine is Studs upon Tubes.

This name is brilliant

Mursten. Take a guess on that one!

That's easy! Well... If you are from Denmark Mursten is the Danish word for brick, though we do not call LEGO brick(-s) for mursten but klods (pl. klodser). It is possible that it was called LEGO mursten earlier, I have a vague idea I have seen that. I guess klods would translate into block.

My village/town is called Ballabreek... In the local language (Manx - a Celtic language based on Gaelic) it means "Place of the Brick". I made up a backstory/history a while back to explain that the name derives from the Middle Ages when the local landowner built himself a manor house of brick as opposed to the stone that had been used previously. (And not from the fact that the village is made of little plastic building bricks!!!)

Once upon a time LEGO sold wooden toys and other plastic toys as well as plastic bricks, so they were sold as LEGO Mursten. I think it hung around until they stopped making wooden toys and things that are not related to the bricks.

I want to call mine Brick Shelf since it sits on a shelf but someone has already taken that name.

Maybe Ye Old Brick might work.

"Stack-en-ville"

[Steckley]

My favorite so far!

Can I play too?

Little Building

Tile-over-Plate

Great names.

How about Brick-under-Hinge, Lego-no-Ess, or SNOTSville?

Fantastic!

I love it!

My city is called Naiaville, named after my daughter. Though sometimes I use this for the Friends layout rather than my City one.

It seems to me that the two most common naming conventions are something based around 'brick' or based on a loved one.

Looking for help with our city name. Our family name is Mottershead, I figured there would be some cool pun with ‘Head’ but haven’t come up with anything, suggestions?

[Clone OPatra]

Normally we'd say not to dig up an old topic, but this one is still relevant, so why not. Carry on.

Mine does not have a name - but "Stone'd Hedge" could work.

Trains go in circles (or just back and forth) - some are ancient - and well here is to the stones:  

Best,

Maidenhead, Moccershead, & Brickshead (revisited) are the first to mind.

If it's a coastal town, you could have it be called anything, but a certain cliff point in the town be called 'Motter's Head' (the new lighthouse for example).

 

I found it best to start from lego related words, then work towards a town name instead of the opposite. Like anything from below;

Lego-related words for place-names: Brick, Block, Stud, Tube, Clutch, Lego, Tabletown, Plate, Tile, Baseplate, Scale, Decal, Element, Greeble, Lurp/Burp, minifig, Moc/Mod, Octan, Paradisa, Polybag, Print, Set, Snot, Swoosh, Tablescrap, Wedge, AFOL, Bow, Vignette/Vig, Pebble/Stone (stein), Cheese slope, Cuusoo, Jumper, Lug, NPU, Modular, Creator, Build/Building, Hinge, Classic, Plastic, Mold, Falcon, Axle, Pin, System, Assembly, M:Tron, Play

Good subthemes for place-names: Nautica, Paradisa, Belville, Fabuland, Heartlake City, Newbury, Galidor, Wolfpack, Forestmen, Chima

Obviously 'lego' Colours in place-names: Azure, Coral, Tan, Nougat, Neon, Olive, Sand Green, Pearl, Flat, Satin, Speckle

 

So for example, I just call my own village 'Little Greebling'. But you can use it to get specific too. Nightclub? 'Night on the tiles'.

I still haven't decided on my cities name; I'm still yet to make a giant mountain behind my city with a Hollywood esque sign haha!

My name is Undies, so i'm leaning on Unditopia atm though. If anyone can think of a good pun name that links underpants and a city, i'm all ears?.

My current RR station's / towns are named as such - buildings are shared between most of them, so they are all interchangeable:

Lego City (art-deco terminal station for use with my local LUG's train shows)

Amber (Toy Story / Western / rural town - Named as such because the town is frozen in time. Also the setting for my version of "Woody's Roundup" TV show)

Legoredo (Western theme - another station on the same line as Amber, but closer / named after the to the U.S. Army fort of the same name.) 

River Bend (Disneyland RR station inspired, so 1890's - 1930's town)

We’ve gone with Mottersville… not super original, but there you go

Sound fine to me, and plenty original. Nobody is going to have their town named Mottersville besides you, thus it's unique.

Good luck on your expanding metropolis in the years to come @DJ MotorBall!

Redbrick City. Of course for it’s iconic brick logo & because I was born in Redwood City. 

[The Brick Boss]

The name of my town is Poodaville! It's one of the supporting towns of Lego City as Brooklyn is to New York. Because it's connected to Lego City, Poodaville uses a lot of the services that Lego City uses.

I think i used to call my town “Nincompoop Town” when I was a kid.

But now, I got my first Modular building so I will think something to call my new town. 

[antp]

Dark Brick City, as reference to the movie Dark City where buildings move every night (though that in my city they don't move so often), and because the room is mostly dark (in an attic, and I keep the blinds down in front of one of the windows to avoid direct sunlight on the bricks).

Of course, there is a Shell Beach poster then: https://antp.be/priv/lego-room/DSC_7786_1.JPG

[Pirate_King_1982]

I was thinking about this the other day and I’m thinking of call my city New Brickhaven.
