On the other, how cool would it have been if there were actual conventions for "city names" as well?

Like, how Hellsguard names are really just translations of Sea Wolf forenames, so when you get characters like Moenbryda who keeps her original name, you get this sense that she's a scientist, but also that maybe some of the old ways still matter to her. (Granted, I believe the real reason was given as "we done goofed" with a few characters' races, like F'lhaminn.)
Separate conventions for city names would be neat! I always like having something to build on rather than starting from "pick anything you like".

I guess you could use Roegadyn names as an inspiration and either directly translate into English or find a name with the same meaning in a different language.

Also, Moenbryda actually is a Sea Wolf, but she has a non-standard skin colour so she doesn't quite look it. Though between her, Merlwyb and Misija it feels like the character designers have something against letting them have green skin.
