I'm looking for a name for a new WiFi area.
The current one is called "Tokyo-Jupiter". It turns out hard to top. It's a geographic area. It's weeb, but from old enough times, e.g. not Naruto Shippuuden, Attack On Titan, or God forbid, Kimetsu no Yaiba. Classy and unique enough.
"Konoha" is too new, too washed-up, and to short.
"Kodena" and "Yokosuka" add a patriotic American tint nicely, but also too short.
"Minas-Tirith" is a place and outstanding in its reference, but not weeb.
"Big-Sight" is the opposite. I'm a weeb, not otaku.
There must be something I'm missing.

So far I only received any replies at LiveJournal. Fediverse failed me utterly.
Show it to someone who asks: "why are you still on LiveJournal". It's the network, baby. That's why people are on the Facebook and people questioning it lack the basic understanding.

@pro What do you need long ones for? My three wifi access points, I have one named after Golden Sun II characters, one after Persona 3 characters, and one after Disgaea 6 characters, mostly range from 4 to 8 chars long.
You could call it AlbaCity though, after a location in Cowboy Bebop and Carole and Tuesday.

@pro (If you want to avoid a reference that is shared between 90's anime and anime from 6 years ago, there's also Tharsis City.)
@kazriko I think they sound more memorable, although a shorter one isn't going to conflict either, most likely.
@pro If you have to type them a lot it can get annoying. One job I had named all their servers after kinds of sharks. The common servers were pretty easy (tiger, sandtiger, hammerhead) but the VM hosts had ancient shark names (Helicoprion, Palaeospinax, etc.)
The strongest candidates were "Zeon-Koukoku" and "Nishi-Teppelin", but I wasn't sure, so I asked my wife. Her suggestion was "Ostrov-Krym" and I'm declaring it the winner.
