Default Creative province names... SemiRandom needs you!

I know there are some very creative folks who haunt these forums, and I could really use their help.

The next version of SemiRandom (aka RanDom) will support the addition of a new variation of random province naming. I won't go into all of the details here, but basically, I would like to fill a variety of new name lists for province creators to utilize. Thought it might be interesting to see what the community can come up with.

Need HOT/COLD/TEMPERATE versions of:
PLAIN
FARM
FOREST
MOUNTAIN
WASTE
SWAMP
COAST
OCEAN
LAKE
CAVE

Could also include:
VOLCANO
PENINSULA
VALLEY
ISLAND
LOST

Here is an sampling of a list that I have for cold forest provinces:
Sparklewood
Glitterwood
Frozenwood
Frozentimber
Glitterpine
Frozenoak
Spikendale
Forest of Ice
Creakwood
Moaningwood
Windywood
Icywood
Crystaleaf
Brittlebranch
Forest of Crystal
Bendingwood
Thawingwood
Wolvenwood
Winterwood
Wolvenpine
Winterpine
Everwinter
Neverthaw
Whiteroot
Frozenroot
Winteroot
Snowypine
Coldwood
Coldoak
Coldbough
Frozenbough
Crystalbough
Icebough
Coldroot
Chimewood
Frostywood
Tinklewood
Grandfrost Wood
Frozenshadow
Whiteshadow
Coldshade
Tonguestuck
Forest of Stuck Tongues
Bitterbough
Whitewood
Whitepine
Whiteoak


As a general rule, the more thematic and generic the name is, the better. The name lengths should be kept within reason so as not to clutter up the map when province names are displayed. The "Forest of Stuck Tongues" is really pushing it, but I couldn't resist.

Also of note: Avoid using "The" at the beginning of a name, because SemiRandom will sometimes pre pend "The" on it's own.

7/7/07 - Attached Template.txt to this post.
When submitting names, it would be very helpful if the lists were sorted with headings as to which category they should be in.
Please use the attached Template.txt as a guide for submitting name lists. Feel free to chop off any parts/categories that you don't use to conserve screen space. Thanks!
