A good name for a fantasy medieval town for a story?

As with the Inn question, I am writing a medieval fantasy story.





I am trying to think of the good name for the main town of the story where the inn is?





The town is small, but still has the castle of the Baron.

Just keep it simple. No one will be impressed with a lengthy, hard to pronounce name. Take a town you already know or look at a map (there are plenty of unique names to choose from). Add something to it if you have to like, burg, town, ton, glen, grove, valley, etc. Theres really no need to over think this.

INN OF THE TODD

Sorry. How about, hmm, let's see...Delversfeld. You can drop some hints as to the mysterious story of the delver in question, and what he was exploring. I dunno. Maybe you should stick with Chicago.
