How to Name a Suburb Development

We’ve all seen them — these contrived little mini-communities with perfect landscaping and uppity names. Here’s how to name one. Pick any two of the following things and put them together:

• Pine
• View
• Crest
• White
• Creek
• Manor
• Stone
• River
• Heights
• Brook
• Green
• Cedar
• Acres
• Meadow
• Haven
• Ridge

So, we end up with:

• Cresthaven
• Pineridge
• Cedarheights
• Brookstone
• [ etc., ad nauseam ]
