Hey all. I'm buying a full island on Second Life. It's going to be Japanese/oriental themed. I need a name for it. Something cool, catchy, easy to remember. I did some random brainstorming.
Dragonpup
Dragonwing
Grasslands
Greenlands
Ryuu
Doesn't necessarily have to be along those lines. Anyways, post all your ideas. I need a name, quick!
Rules for naming:
Must be more than 3, but less than 25 characters (spaces count)
Must contain three words or less
Must use only alphanumeric characters (no punctuation)
Must not be the name of a real life city (however, "New York Island" or "Los Angeles City" are fine)

I couldn't think of anything, so I searched through the wiki, but I think Sal's is the best.

Computer (Easy) had the closest to what I like best. My final decision is Sushi Valley for the following reasons:
1) It's easy to remember
2) It's playful-ish
3) I have little sushi characters I already made that I can put to use
4) It's descriptive of the island
Easy to remember is one of the key things, so people won't forget about it. Since I came up with this from some help outside of CB, none of you win. However, I'll send out a small prize to those who participated. Thanks!

Oh, and I almost named it Bonsai Valley, by the way. Good job, dudemus.
