    How this list was compiled: 74 names for a made-up amusement park in a story or a game, written for this page: invented playful words, and plain two-word names. Each made-up name was checked by script on 2026-10-02 against a dictionary, lists of first names and surnames, GeoNames places (towns of the world, and every name in the tables for the United Kingdom and the United States; https://download.geonames.org/export/dump/, CC BY 4.0), names from published fiction, every list on this site, the page titles of English Wikipedia and a full-text search of English Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/, CC BY-SA 4.0). 26 of 84 candidates were cut (7 found on English Wikipedia; 6 a rude word inside the letters; 5 already on another list of this site; 4 a dictionary word; 2 a real place; 2 a name from published fiction, or one letter from one). The names come from one list kept for all the made-up place pages of this site, so none is on two pages. No list of names is complete, so search a name before you publish it. Each plain name was also searched with every kind on this page as a page title of English Wikipedia and as a name in the GeoNames tables. One plain name was taken out after a second check: English Wikipedia uses it for a real place. A small real park may still share a name. Licence: own work
