Prairie du Chien, possibly De Pere, and Lac Courte Oreille are French, I think, although someone more knowledgeable could call me out on this one... If I'm right, it goes back to some of your French-Canadien roots- same as those more major American cities of Du Bois, Detroit, St. Louis, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Pierre, Des Moines...

On a related note, I assign "smatterings of linguistics" to the Shire. I'm far too lazy to ever learn a second language (and if I do, it would be Latin... which is "dead"), but I do love smatterings of foreign tongues. Strange words here and there, of miscellaneous international origin, coupled with the proper pronunciation that most people can't manage, but you're usually good at...

I also assign Catholic ordinations... another fine example of beautiful liturgy. I also assign the fact that I get to go to one tomorrow...
