i like the idea of finding out how the city breathes, moves, feels before giving it a name. a name has to be fitting enough.
for instance, is it an oceanside town? does it have a history of settlement? mountainous regions? snowy, desert, tropical, what?
i.e. if it was a larger coastal trade city governed by settlers that used mainly wind power for energy, you could easily slap a name on it like port de eolienne.
if it was a cold, remote mountain town, you'd give it an easier towny name, right? like muntegheat.

Make it something symbolic or whatever. One of the characters in my books represents the hollow shell of order around the chaos that is time, hes obsessed with watches. His name is Horus, which has something to do with watches/time.

I like to look up names of small towns in different states/countries and sometimes mash them together.
