Coastal naming that sells the trade

  • Name the catch, net, tide, pier, and lighthouse—not only “Bay.”
  • Wind and reef hazards are oral-history favorites.
  • Pair work + home: a labor root with a cove or haven cue signals both industry and community.

How to pick a harbor hamlet name

  • Decide the main catch or trade—names drift differently for shellfish vs. deep-water fleets.
  • Note tide and fog patterns locals would cite in stories.
  • If a lighthouse or reef has a nickname, that often beats the charter name in speech—use both in fiction.
