Tips for a name that sticks
The classic formula works
'The' + adjective + creature/object is the tavern-name formula for a reason — it paints a sign you can picture swinging over the door.
Match the neighbourhood
A dockside dive and a noble quarter inn deserve different names. 'The Salty Kraken' and 'The Gilded Stag' tell players where they are before you describe a thing.
Name the sign, get free lore
Ask yourself why it is called 'The Broken Flagon' — the answer is usually a ready-made story hook for your session.
