When it comes time for you to establish a settlement (town, city, farm in the middle of nowhere), adding an adjective to the great proper name you spent all afternoon coming up with can flesh out the town in your mind as well as make the full name that much more exciting for your players.
The following is a list of settlement names. You can add an "s" to some of these. In almost every case, you can place the adjective before the proper name of your town (i.e., Castle Griswick or Mount Griswick), after the name of your town (i.e. Griswick's Glen or Griswick's Crossing), or blend the two together (i.e. Grisburg or Griswood). Also, I'm sure there are similar names in different languages and alternate spellings, but the list is simply here to spur creativity and is not comprehensive.
