Regarding Node/City Names

Two questions:
1. Do players get to name each of the cities/nodes or do they have preset names?
2. If they have preset names, could there be race specific variations depending on who owns them?
Personally I would prefer preset names, because I don't really like how immersion breaking custom names can be for cities. And I would also like to see the nodes get custom names based upon the dominant race there.

That way we avoid profanity or Towny McTownface.
The other idea was to have players choose the name and then have IS moderate it.

Intrepid then chooses 0-5 to add to the list each month.
That would build community engagement
I would be down to do that, but I think we'd need a guideline of naming conventions by race, to keep it authentic and immersive.
That way the name is chosen by the first racial majority, and it carries on until somehow someday the Node decays back to level 0.
That's why intrepid would choose those that make it onto the list.
They can decide best whether its fitting or not.
