possibly snowcap town (village)
I have no idea what the champions tower is, so maybe the champion's layer?
I dont see problems with the gym leader names. I dont think you would see watson too often.

There are some names in Topaz that some people have qualms with, whether it be because they lack flavour, or don't stick to cannon, or otherwise. Here is the place to suggest changes to the names.
A few of my issues, will be added to as people name their own:
1. Frost Town - This is a pretty lame town name.
2. Champion's Tower - Also pretty lame. It doesn't have to be a tower, by the way
Other people have expressed that they have issue with some of the Gym Leader's names, namely (haha) those such as Froy, Therma, and Osiro, since they aren't used names.
Ideas?

DO U LIKE WATER????? then u like 75% of me.
Water type is the god of all. Johto will always be the best region ever (though topaz's Caldera & Kirant will be 2nd)
I like Champion's tower personally. But perhaps frost town could be changed.
Watson is a given name, it appears more often than you might think.
Personally I hate the name "Champion's Tower". I mean, it's a tower. For champions. It seems really lazy and obvious to me.
Yeah, but it has "victory" all over it. Maybe, "Pinnacle of Triumph" or something? I don't know.
"Pinnacle of Triumph" is infinitely better than "Champion's Tower" IMO.
Nothing quite captures the feeling of Indigo Plateau, though.
Maybe "something Spire," that way it keeps the rock tower thing going.
Victors (Layer, Pinnacle)
Triumphant (Layer, Pinnacle)

Dream Spire is great.
It does have to be a tower? I've never heard that restriction before. I just assumed that it was a tower since that was what it was. I thought it'd be better not to restrict the ideas to tower-based names, so that's why I added that in. Dream Spire and Pinnacle of Triumph both play very well into a tower theme so it seems like it isn't going to matter anyway.
Pinnacle of triumph reminds me too much of Spear Pillar for some reason. i gotta go with Dream Spire on this one.
Maybe Glacial Village or something to replace frost town? Also, i don't like gym leaders to have more common names, i prefer the ones we have.
But there are some that could work out. For instance, Gerad. It sounds like it would be something derived from "Generate" or something, isn't a real name, and doesn't sound particularly awesome. Someone, I think it was Quinn, misspelt it as "Gerard" and I thought, that could actually be his name.
There are some canon gym leader names that are just as, if not more uncommon than the Topaz ones: Lt. Surge, Morty, Brawly, Wattson (spelled with two t's), Gardenia, and Fantina, just to name a few. The names we have are fine imo.
Maybe Snowfall Town or possibly Polar Town? Heck even Boreal Town could work if Snow Town is in the souther part of the region.
While Lt. Surge and Morty are perfectly fine names (last names can be anything, Morty is just Mortimer shortened), yeah, stuff like Gardenia is a good counterexample. It was Inevitable who found it a major issue anyhow.
I like all the names cept for the frost town part.
why not try Inuit City/Town/Village (whichever it's supposed to be there)--would kinda make sense do the fact that the Inuit are basically eskimos and they live in cold regions like Canada/Alaska...
it's a way of giving it the "cool" name without being bland and at the same time giving out a little bit of history (if that's what people want)

How about Everest Village? Everest because it's on a mountain and Village for obvious reasons. That good?
Frost Town ---> Frigid Point/Village.
Champion's Tower ---> Victory Valley (if it was, you know... a valley) / Victory Pinnacle
Will think of more tomorrow.
Shiver. I was playing super mario galaxy 2, and I saw the "shiver burn galaxy". I think shiver is a good word we could use in frost town.

Flurridge Town, Boreala Town, maybe?
Also, IB, you going to make a poll for these or something?
Triumph Spire maybe?
Seconding Triumph Spire. But I also like the idea of making it a man-made tower. Gives us a reason to make Victory Road something besides a cave for once, and maybe we can make a couple Zelda references.
Like one of the temples (hopes shadow or spirit temple)

Oh god, not the shadow temple. I hated that place with a passion, though it's boss was probably the easiest of them all.
(Nocturne of Spirit anyone?Just kidding, that's not even the real song, it's Nocturn of Shadow, and Requiem of Spirit.)
Champion's Tower --> Victory Spire
Abit unoriginal but meh, it's a pokemon game, it's what you expect.
Popping in very briefly to say that Froy is, in fact, actually a name. Not common in the slightest, but at least a nickname if not a proper name--it's not unheard of. Therma, Gerad and Osiro are slightly more valid complaints, but personally I don't care.
(Gardenia is a name too, by the way--Fantina and Brawly are the only proper counterexamples I can really think of.)
Victory Spire reminds me too much of Victory Road, I'm not very enamoured of the way it sounds either. Do you all think a poll is really necessary? Sometimes it's easy enough just to find a general consent on the topic itself.
On a different note...what about changing Sunset Village to the less generic Sundusk Village?
Nah, Sunset's a word, I doubt you'd find Sundusk in the dictionary. Besides it sounds all wrong.
I agree that it doesn't flow quite as smoothly as sunset, but most Pokémon cities and towns have names that aren't words and are instead portmanteaus. Ecruteak, Rustboro, Twinleaf, etc.. Caldera/Kirant already has a few non-word names, too, like Softwind and Cranewing. Gen I was really the only one that stuck to straight-up color names.
how 'bout snowtip village
eh?

I has X, Looking for Y stones, will trade for good stuff.
I have this feeling that this city is gonna go thru a boatload of names before it's finished and that it's gonna take a long time to settle on one...
Just got a crazy idea....
how about Aurora??
it'd be a good name since it's supposed to be kinda cold anyway...
short for like auroraborealis (northern lights) or the other one which i forget alot (southern lights)
plus it can sound colorful as well as cold...

I like aurora. My Saint Nick dude will color the place up in an area, along with maybe some flicks of color here and there. The only thing I'm not so sure with it, is I dont think Aurora Town/Village sounds too great. Shouldn't it have the Fortree, Lavaridge Mistvale goldenrod thing to it. I'm not so sure but maybe Aurorate town (not a big fan of that myself)

Uh no. And it's Fort-Tree, they just removed an "T".
shiverville village.

Aurorete Town. Aurora + Erete (with a funny "e"), that is, if it's high up in a mountainous area
isn't that what I had?

How about Firnette Town, as in "small firn"?
