[Circle of Hands] Place Names

Don't know if this is useful/setting-appropriate, but I found a cool page on Wikipedia today.
"Prehistoric and medieval German toponomy". Which is to say, the structure of placename.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_toponymy

It fits exactly what I've been trying to do with names in my games so far - pick one of the standard names from the rulebook and peg "-dorf" or "-heim" etc on the end - but adds a bucket-load of extra elements I wouldn't have thought of.

There's a similar wiki page for Celtic toponomy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_toponymy) but it isn't quite as accessible. I suspect the German one is better for CoH.

Done! Expect a rubric of some sort in the rulebook with your name plastered alongside it.
