Should we name The City? To make writing about it easier? I been calling it New Lancaster in my head not for any particular reason other than it sounds cool to me.

If yes, then a suggestion would be welcome. Maybe make a second poll.

I think we should name it. "The City" sounds like some kind of cyberpunk dictatorship. I do not have any suggestions at the moment. New Lancaster sounds pretty cool.

I like the idea of naming The City. But how in love with the name New Lancaster are we? It's a nice name, but it just sounds very New England-ish to me. I expect it to be in like Maine or Massachusettes.

If I'm honest, I personally think that using the moniker "The City" makes it seem a lot more general and also adds a sense of familiarity in the characters speech patterns (I.e; I'm going back to the city Vs. I'm going back to New Lancaster)

However, I'll put my vote down for New Lancaster if we do name it.

Does the state the City's in have a name?

Also, Betsy found this pretty cool link: tis useful for city and neighbourhood names.

What type of noir is the goal? Chandler was a big California sort. I agree New Lancaster would sound out of place there. New England would work just as well, though, it it's a more Manhattan feel.
