I'd like to pull the pbase in for some name brainstorming.

So, I'm working on a new 'gray zone', that is sort of a median between the Southside and the law-abiding northern sectors of Lithmore. It will welcome upper class folks with money to spend on vice. The vibe should be fashionably risky and sinful. It will be a new little neighborhood and show up with its name on the roster as a distinct place from Southside, so players know what they are getting into.

But I need a name for that neighborhood that gives off that vibe!

I've been calling it the 'grey zone' (not really a great name) or the 'sin district' (maybe?), but I'd like something better! Some other words I'd played around with were 'chance' or 'hazard' - maybe 'X Close'? What ideas do people have? Happy to give QP to the name we use - maybe put together a poll to vote for your favorites if we get several good ones.

So I did the mistake of asking friends that don't play for ideas

The Grarea
Degradia
Red Light District
Hanky Panky Town
Shagsville Lithmore
Spanktown
Pandoras Box
Shadow Realm

I think Shadow Zone or Shadow Strip may be cute
Praise the Bolt!

Bordertown - Since it's the BORDER of Southside and Northside

The Block - Because Baltimore is cool.

Priests' Quarter - Play on words because truly, no priest would be caught dead gambling and doing coarse ruby off a prostitute's rear end.

Or my personal favorite...

The Vavardi Quarter just kidding

EDIT:

I just realized that if Priests' Quarter was used, people could say something like 'Oh yeah I'm going to the priest.', with a wink, to denote that they're about to spend a night on the town in this gray zone. Hah.

Border Quarter - Why has no one suggested this?

Let's have a square we name after that Sapiente who passed away IRL a few years back.

Could it be a Quay and have access to the river too? Would be useful for a variety of in game reasons.

I love that idea, do you remember their name?

Also I adore the idea of priest's quarter.

I don't but we did fundraising for the family (he left behind a young child) so Temi or Kinky likely does?
