Reader Input; Mechromancer location

Okay, so with the recent chapter update I was wondering something.

I have Gaige, Qwerty and Twilight heading off across the ocean. Due to slightly garbled information delivered to Twilight in previous chapters, you the readers will have probably figured out that they're heading towards Saddle Arabia.

What I want to ask you, the readers for is if my choice of the city in particular they're heading to sounds alright, or if the name sounds jarring and out of place.

The city in question is Sapphira Oasis, capital city of the Empire of Saddle Arabia. I started off with 'Sapphira Osiras', but that one just ended up sounding weird to me.

So? Am I overthinking it, or does it sound alright?

I would have gone the Emarald city route and called it "lazulite" or Lapiz-Lazuli and claim it was named after mining interests.

Lapis is the Latin word for "stone" and lazuli is the genitive form of the Medieval Latin lazulum, which is taken from the Arabic لاجورد lājaward, itself ...
