I saw that I had made notes for some other families I forgot to incorporate, like the Quincys. I guess it's time to make my 2303 freshmen names chart!
In time, I may start to reshape parts of the map, maybe using characters from the story to rename those places. I agree that the Boston Police Rationing Site is not an apt name for the post-Apocalypse Commonwealth. However, anyone reading this who played the game will know exactly where that location is. I will also have to keep more notes on locations to get it right.

Yeah, I think like 95% of the names are fine, and even some of the quirky-ness of how out of place some sound is actually a positive to the world building. Of course, too, I'd never say rename Abernathy or something of that level, other than maybe eventually call the settlement "Abernathy Town/City" or something but that's more semantics than a true rename. The Rationing site just seemed particularly out of place, given rationing does not fit with your overall prosperity theme.
