    public:

    int P_Name(){
    srand(static_cast<unsigned int>(time(0)));

        {
        RegionName = "Pandonia";
        }
       else if (placeName == 2)
       {
         RegionName = "Shires";
       }

       {
          RegionName = "Epic";
       }

    }};

The variable placeName is not recognized by the function randomPlaceName(). It is delared as a local variable in the function P_Name().

Ok. How do i get it to be recognized?

Possibly like:

class RandonRegionName{
   private:
      int placeName;
    public:

    int P_Name(){
    srand(static_cast<unsigned int>(time(0)));
    placeName = rand();

    return (placeName % 3) + 1;
}

    void randomPlaceName(){
        string RegionName;
       if (placeName == 1)
        {
        RegionName = "Pandonia";
        }
       else if (placeName == 2)
       {
         RegionName = "Shires";
       }
       else if (placeName == 3)
       {
          RegionName = "Epic";
       }

    }};
