I must admit, I haven't paid any kind of attention to anything to do with CaW really. I check the news/site every so often to see if it has been released (especially, when FB decides to bug me with links to things about it! lol) so this is the first I have read about anyone's names for their new worlds.
It is a bit strange if there are going to be a lot of "Stone" worlds, but then I suppose it makes sense. As safersaviour has already pointed out, Silverstone is a famous race track here in England*, so that will obviously spark interest for some people.
Keystone is also a common name used throughout the world in many things, so would also be popular.
If you factor in certain things in film/TV lately, then "Stone" will certainly be more common too.
I should imagine there will be a lot of worlds with "Land", "Ville", "Town", "Valley" and so on. It will be quite hard for people to think of something truly original, because we use the world around us to decide on names and these are usually the most common.
EDIT:
* Using Brands Hatch (the other one we have) just doesn't seem as feasible either. Though if someone does make either that'd be GREAT! *love*
Oooh, someone - or a lot of people - should make all of the tracks on the F1 circuit. Now that would be so awesome!
What about "Tingleberry" or "Flartingdale"...not that I`m going to use those, but if someone comes up with a name that ends in stone they can`t account for another person`s town also ending with stone. It just so happens a lot of real towns end with the word stone or wood or water...you know, the elemental aspects of habitation. I`m not going to say what I will call my island (Oops!) but it won`t end with stone that`s for sure. I hope you don`t get the `stoners` angry with that post?

I must admit, 'Silver Stone' amused me (in a good way). I grew up watching Formula 1 and Silverstone is England's track.
Now i remember why
my first thought was that someone was going to make a map based around the track
