Thread: An imaginary suburb for Moscow

I need help making up the name of a suburb for Moscow. I'm trying to find a word that can run alongside Lyubertsy, Baumanskaya, Koptevskaya, Mytisci etc that I can use to use to describe an imaginary gang. I don't want to use a real name in case I get an unwelcome knock on the door from some bad guys! Any ideas?

Probably a bit childish variants but...

-----suburb--------------------word from which the name originates
TsvetOchino -----------------------tsvetOk(=flower)
or
TsvetOchinskoye
ZabOrovo--------------------------zabOr(=fence)
NozhOvo---------------------------nozh(=knife)
OblepIkhovo-----------------------oblepIkha(=sea-buckthorn)
Putino----------------------------------------
(Yeltsino, Gorbachevo)
If they really exist around Moscow my most humble apologies to their residents.

Thank you Friendy. You are so reliable!

How about Verhnekastetovo? Or Malaya Barmaleyevka? Or Derzhimordovskoe?

Now the trouble is VM, I have no idea whether you are leading me down the garden path or not?

Is the 'Barmalay' part a reference to 'ni schokolada, ni marmalada, tol'ko malenkiy detey'?

Right you are, it's Barmaley's favourite song. But as a name I think it's not bad, personally, I like it. Btw, I like all VM's variants, they are funny, if you know what they derived from, but they sound quite natural.

howbout Прыщино, Энкино, Сараево?

Why hasn't anyone thought of New Vasyuky yet? Ah, it's copyrighted I guess

I saw several variants of this.

Judging by this curious geography, it seems what you actually want is name for some OPG ("organised criminal community").

Latynina in "Охота на Изюбря" called some serious moscow gang "Долголаптевские" ("Dolgolaptevskiye"). You always can try this. Hope it can't be considered violation of copyright.

What is the purpous?

The purpose is - that I can't use the name of a real Moscow gang - I have to make one up and the gangs are named after the suburbs in which they operate. Therefore if I can create an imaginary suburb, I can name a gang after it. Geddit?

Give them a name 'луньковские'.

How about a 'Love Gang' that supports peace & harmony through violence?
