About utopian city names
Abstract virtues become addresses in this set, sometimes latinate like "Lumen" and "Vaillantis", sometimes an unaltered English word like "Imagination". A city that names itself after a concept is making a promise, which gives writers an instant source of dramatic irony when the towers turn out to hide something. Misspelled ideals like "Paece" work especially well for societies built on a flaw.
How utopian city names are built
Utopian city names are single bank words, returned whole rather than assembled. Each of four patterns draws one entry from a bank of 167, 128, 128, or 184 entries, so a pull is Lumen, Rarungia, Vatenu, or Poetry. There is no joining or syllable chaining; the value you see is one stored entry.
Lumen
single bank word (second bank)
one entry from a single bank
Vatenu
single bank word (fourth bank)
one entry from a single bank
Poetry
single bank word (second bank)
one entry from a single bank, a whole word used as a name
Naming notes
Each pattern returns one complete bank word with no second slot. The four banks together supply the variety; the largest holds 184 entries. Because every result is a single word, the set suits a city named with one evocative label.
