A name, an ideal and a catch
Press New utopia name. Tap a part, press its padlock, then press again. Lock an ideal you like, such as "every law fits on one page", and press for the catch that spoils it: the smiling is compulsory, or there is exactly one song.
Names built the way More built his
Thomas More coined the word utopia in 1516 from Ancient Greek, and it literally translates as "no place". The names here are made the same way, from a root and a place ending: Tranquillia and Quietopia start from Latin words. The list under the tool gives the meaning of every root.
Questions and answers
What does utopia mean?
Utopia literally translates as "no place". Thomas More coined it in 1516 from Ancient Greek for his book of that name, and pointed out its likeness to eutopia, meaning "good place".
What is a good name for a utopia?
One that says what the place is proud of. Callitopia and Chrysotopia each join a root with a real meaning to an ending for a place or a city, and the Name list under the tool explains each one.
Why does every utopia here have a catch?
The third row deals one with every name. The catches run from gentle (the shared supper is always soup) to sinister (nobody is allowed to leave). None is violent. Tap the catch and press its arrows to change it.
Are these names from books?
None that we found. Each was checked against Wikipedia page titles, a search of its text and its lists of utopian literature and fictional countries, and a name found there was taken out. Search a name before you publish it.

How this list was compiled: Our own list of 80 invented names, built on 2026-10-03 the way Thomas More built Utopia: a root with a real meaning and a place ending. The roots are English combining forms that come from Greek (eu-, calli-, helio-) and Latin words (serenus, hortus, pax); the meaning given for each follows its English Wiktionary entry, read that day (https://en.wiktionary.org/, CC BY-SA 4.0). Many names join a Latin root to a Greek ending, which a classicist would call a hybrid. Each name was screened that day against an English dictionary and two lists of real names; GeoNames places (https://download.geonames.org/export/dump/, CC BY 4.0); every list on this site; the page titles and redirects of English Wikipedia, a full-text search of it, and the text of its List of utopian literature and List of fictional countries (https://en.wikipedia.org/, CC BY-SA 4.0); and every word of every page title of 16 fantasy fan wikis. 69 candidates were cut (34 found in the text of English Wikipedia; 15 a Wikipedia page title; 12 a real first name or surname; 5 a dictionary word; 1 a rude word inside or across the join; 1 a real place; 1 taken out on a second reading), among them Serenia, Lenia, Solia, Auria, Claria, Dulcia.

How this list was compiled: Our own list of 49 catches, written on 2026-10-03: some gentle, some sinister, none violent. Rows are dealt blind, so a catch is not written to answer any one ideal. 4 candidates were cut (4 on another list of this site), among them the map of the town leaves out one street, it is always the same day of the week, nobody has ever seen who lights the lamps, the statue of the founder is moved a little every night.
