If you want the name of your Village, Town, or City to have the flavor of Medieval England (or of the more Anglicized areas of Wales, Ireland, Cornwall, and Scotland), use the name elements on this page.
How to do it: Roll for both a Prefix and a Suffix. If you decide you want a name appropriate to a specific terrain type, replace either the Prefix or the Suffix (not both!) with one from the relevant sub-table.
