What is a good name for an imaginary place?

Answer 1

What kind of environment do you see your characters in? Try to see the mood of the story, if the characters are dark then a dark place is where a reader will imagine them in. Here are the steps in order of what I do...

1. If it's a dark or rainy place try the northern areas. If it's sunny try southern areas.
2. Is it grassy or dry and desert like
3. Do you see them in a small town or a big town?
4. Once you think you know where the characters are then you can research the towns in that area or those areas
