-{{Quality|Exceptional|13:27, 28 April 2012 (UTC)}}
-Every fortress has a '''name'''. Sometimes you forget what that name is. If you are playing in Fortress Mode, press {{key|z}} to look at your [[Status#Main Status Screen|status screen]]. The name of your fortress should be displayed at the top left part of the screen.
-You can choose the name of your own fortress during the [[Embark]] process. When you reach the stage where you are deciding on your founder's [[skill]]s and starting items, press {{key|Shift}}+{{key|F}} to choose your fortress name. You will be given a semi-random name automatically. Fortress names are often compounds of two dwarven words.  You may craft a more elaborate fortress name than what's made by the name generator.
-==Custom names==
-Custom names have no effect on gameplay, but there are a lot of options in this menu (accessible by pressing {{key|F}} on the [[Starting builds|Prepare Carefully screen]]). You can also set the name of the expedition, which uses the same interface.
-Fortress names have this format:
-'''[Front][Rear] the [Adj 1] [Adj 2] [hyphen compound]-["the" Noun] of ["of" noun]'''
-The front compound forms the first half of your fortress's name.  Choose from an extremely long list of words. Press {{key|c}} to clear a word selection--your fortress does not need ANY of these words to be chosen (i.e. a blank name) to be legal. Press {{key|e}} to search for a word (in English), works just like the provisions search. Hitting enter will move from the type back to the search results.
-The rear compound forms the second half of your fortress's name, which is combined with no spaces (Foobar instead of Foo Bar).
-Adjectives, at first glance, it appears these do nothing, but they give up to two words after your compound word (above) separated by spaces that are the adjectives to The X or Of X word choice (see below).
-The hyphen command adds a third word joined by a hyphen to your The X or Of X word:
-*Foobar the Great
-*Foobar of Death
-With Adjectives and Hyphen compound:
-*Foobar the Great Moral Thraal-Generals
-*Foobar the Goblin-Chunks of Exploding
-With no front & rear compounds:
-*The Great Deadly Foobar
-*The Foobar of Foobars
-*Of Foobars
