Colony Names?

[SilentP]

So what do you folks like to name your colony?  I went with the traditional names often associated with the first couple of colonies:

Butt-Town
Funkytown
Crapville

But then I moved on to eighteenth century English colonies.

Jamestown
Roanoak
Plymouth

So what do you folks like to name your colonies?

I often choose or derive from my favorite tv shows or other video games

Hell's Kitchen (as in Daredevil)
The Slog, Hangman's Valley, Covenant, Sanctuary, etc (inspired by Fallout 4)

My first few colonies were named after town that mean something to me, with a "Neo"-prefix. For example "Neo-Tokyo".
The colony that I'm running at the moment is digged very deep into the surrounding mountains (which I planned from the first arrival), and so I called it "Caveworld".

  Willow's Breath and Adder's Envy are the names that I usually end up using for my settlements. I couldn't think of any other names unfortunately.

[Fafn1r]

I have a habit of naming my every colony Wrongway.

[SKD_Dudu]

I called my first colony "Hunter's Point", because in the first week i don't had the knowedge and resources to create an Solar Generator and a Freezer and i basically started to hunt the local animals, day after day, similar to a tribe.

The second one i called them "Wild Rangers", i started to protect the local wildlife, taming and reproducing the local species, and if necessary, killing any animals which means any danger to the local wildlife, i organize my local colonists to act and use tactics in a emergency to avoid any damage to the local wildlife.

I used to name them metaphorically like "Hope", "Despair", "Failure", etc.

Now i just go with whatever they suggest because they usually don't last long enough for me to care.

[MeowRailroad]

I usually name mine after a local terrain feature and the colonist who suggested to name it, or the colonist name and -ville, -burg, -ton or something like that. Occasionally I might use a different name that I like.

My longest-lasting colony (4 years) was named Sparland, and I think that was the default name and I liked it.

Other colony names are Colome Hills, Aaronton, Plateau Lake, and Lake Rhine.

Foreshuck, Turncoat Barrens and Claim Jumper Ridge are a few of the names my friend picked out. Without him I would have had a hard time trying to think of colony names.

[DuckBoy]

My colony called Ludeon got attacked by a punk kid/bad magician. 

I beat him to death with clubs.

D-Town
Santa Maria

So far.
Add #'s to D-Town and use it as many times as necessary!

Yep, exactly. Used to get creative and now I expect them to fail so whatever, let the colonists name their demise, saves me a few minutes of false hope.

My current colony is also named Roanoak.  Before there was Crone's Marsh, Farpine, and Starvation's Teeth.  Also Eclipse Colony.

[Mr.Cross]

Named one of my more hopeful colony's Hell's Embargo. They didn't do a very good job with that embargo however...

Paradise Falls, I have mine setup as a drug and prison colony.
