This might just be me nitpicking, but "Cityfolk" is a bit of a generalisation. It makes it seem like every single person in that city is saying that exact same thing at the same time. They could well be - I don't know - but that's probably not the effect you were going for.

Even things like "City Inhabitant" or maybe "Pedestrian".. something that would describe just one person. Or even "City Man #1" if you intended to have more than one of them speak. These just give the place a bit more personality, as if they're not all sheep doing the same thing.

Again, probably me just being picky..

I totally agree, in other locations I've used "Gardener", "Barkeep", "Shady-looking guy" "Gossip". I kind off didn't know what to go with for average residents.

I wanted something that sounded homely and down to earth, any suggestions?

Hrmm.. funnily enough, I'm not fantastic with names. ^^;;;

Perhaps just something as simple as "passerby" or even "resident." Depending on who's saying it, it could be "young girl" or "older gentleman" or something a bit more personal. I definitely approve of the personal touch, but it could be a slight more difficult to keep track of. :P
