Small Town vs Big City Mayors
The size of the town should change the name:
- Small town — warm, familiar, slightly old-fashioned. Mayor Harold Boone runs a place where everyone knows him by first name and he also owns the hardware store.
- Big city — sharper and more political. Mayor Vincent Castellano has a press office, a rival, and a scandal waiting.
- Corrupt mayor — a slightly grand or smooth-sounding name does half the work before he opens his mouth.

Mayor Names for Stories and Games
Mayors are usually written as one of three things: the well-meaning small-town figurehead, the slick career politician, or the one covering something up. The name can telegraph which before the character speaks — Boone and Nolan read as honest, Castellano and Prescott read as connected. In tabletop campaigns the mayor is often the quest-giver, so pick a name players can remember and a town name that pairs with it.
Tips for Naming a Mayor Character
- Use the title — "Mayor" before the surname is how everyone addresses them.
- Match the town size — folksy for a village, polished for a city.
- Think about the campaign — a name that works on a poster works in dialogue.
- Pair with the town name — Mayor Boone of Ridgefield sells the setting in four words.
