So, interested in how I came up with the different town names for Minami? Sticking with the theme of Elements for a while (although a very different type of elements!), here's a rundown...
I've always wanted to use the chemistry periodic chart elements for town names. So one day a very long time ago, I fished out my old Science periodic chart from high school, and proceeded to write them all down on the computer:
Aluminium
Barium
Beryllium
Bohrium
Cadmium
Caesium
Calcium
Chronium
Dubnium
Francium
Gallium
Germanium
Hafnium
Hassium
Helium
Indium
Iridium
Lithium
Magnesium
Meitnerium
Niobium
Osmium
Palladium
Polonium
Potassium
Radium
Rhenium
Rhodium
Rubidium
Ruthenium
Rutherfordium
Scandium
Seaborgium
Selenium
Sodium
Strontium
Technetium
Tellurium
Thallium
Titanium
Ununhexium
Ununnilium
Ununoctium
Ununquadium
Unununium
Vanadium
Yttrium
Zirconium
And now, it was time for scrapping! I got rid of the ones that were: too long to write, too hard to pronounce, too obvious that they were from the periodic table, or just didn't sound good. This gave me this list:
Barium
Bohrium
Cadmium
Caesium
Calcium
Chronium
Chronium
Dubnium
Francium
Gallium
Hafnium
Hassium
Helium
Indium
Lithium
Osmium
Radium
Rhenium
Rhodium
Scandium
Sodium
Strontium
Thallium
Yttrium
Then, finally, it was reduced to these ten, which are now shown on the map!
Barium
Cadmium
Gallium
Hassium
Lithium
Osmium
Radium
Strontium
