Naming your Fortress

Has no effect on gameplay, but there are a lot of options in this menu (accessible by pressing F on the Prepare Carefully screen).

Fortress names have this format:

[Front][Rear], the [Adj 1]["the" Noun] of [Adj 2]["of" noun]-[hyphen compound]

Front Compound

Forms the first half of your fortress's name. Choose from an extremly long list of words.

Press 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 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.

Rear Compound

Forms the second half of your fortress's name, which are combined with no spaces (Foobar instead of Foo Bar).

Adjectives (First and Second)

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).

Hyphen Compound

Adds a third word joined by a hyphen to your The X or Of X word (below).

The X and Of X

Examples:

Foobar The Great

Foobar Of Death

With Adjectives and Hyphen compound:

Foobar The Great Moral Thraal-Generals

Foobar Of Explosive Goblin-Chunks
