Mystical Angels

What should I name the town in my story? Mystical/Unique?

I want it to sound exotic but not foreign (as in, people can pronounce it) But I would like it to MEAN something.

2. Opaque. Means "not transparent." I suppose its foreign-sounding, but it's an English word, and in my opinion is "mystical looking." Just for the future, I've always found that using plant names is a good way to get some interesting names. http://plants.usda.gov/java/threat?txtparm=&category=sciname&familycategory=all&duration=all&growthhabit=all&wetland=all&statefed=all&stateSelect=US26&sort=sciname&submit.x=76&submit.y=9 16th name down on that list is "arnica cordifolia," and I'd say Arnica is a good name.
3. Hmm, try and find a name that you like, like a human name, and go to something like http://www.babynameaddicts.com/ and look up the definition of the name. From there, you can twist the name into something that works. Just a suggestion.
4. Redwind Just thought of it and I like it. Good for any time period or setting (so long as it's western, Europe or United States) But you'd probably better specialize it to the time period the town was founded, where it exists, and why was it created. IE, is it a mill town founded in the 18th century as a mill town and named after a local Indian Tribe? (that describes MUCH of the eastern United States, by the way) and what you want the town to mean in your story. The mood of the town, dark or light...and the mood of the story also matter. Take Castle Rock, Maine, a fictional setting in several Stephen King stories. A reference to Lord of the Flies, it's already ominous and dark sounding, even though there's nothing deliberately diabolical in the name itself.
5. yahoozaville.....nah only joking how about....palentia.... or....think of one of your main themes of your story.....and look up the latin or greek word for it..its a neat trick
