I think the real question is becoming: not what to name it but how!

Someone with a whole lot of nerve needs to take the initiative (and no, not me).

I vote for Ava!

My vote goes to Nonnomen or Emanon as fabulous ideas, and to Oryx and Mari as totally cool pies for their work on the Wiki.

I kinda like Nonnomen and/or Emanon as well. Both also fit in well with the other names, too.

Mari
(Who enjoys doin stuff like dat, but notes dat Oryx has done tone more'n me!)

I'd vote for Emanon too.

Has a venerable history, from Samuel Butler's "Erewhon" to Dylan Tomas' "LLaregub"

Has it been named..?

10-14-2007 18:41

I had to search through 21 Forum Pages to find this....

So Ava did the Forum ever come up with a name for the un-named continent...?

Oops, dropped the ball on this.

I've edited the list, but left out the entries that I was pretty sure were jokes. Based on the feedback, it looks like Emanon is a clear favorite. I actually prefer that one as well for its reference to Erewhon, and it seems suitable for a continent that has been unusually resistant to naming.

As the name-proposing phase has clearly ended, let's enter the debate and voting phase. The list of choices:

Atlantis
Black Thursday
Boomerangia
Dave
Delphi
Emanon
Fireheart
Gondwanaland
Hercynia
Lagistan
Lagoland
Las Grandes Bragas
Laurentia
Lei
Mãebaleia
Mondas
Nonnomen
Pacifica
Panagea (sp?)
Satori
Steve
Telos

---

Once we choose, we can decide how to pseudo-officialize it. The wiki and Carl's NCI maps are obvious methods, but any other suggestions are welcome.

So... maybe time for a forum poll?

I'm sure Steve was a joke, but it actually got supporters.

So it looks like I will now need to learn how to make a poll! I've tallied the opinions voiced so far. Not including their original proposers, the following names got two or more votes:

Emanon (

Nonnomen (2)
Satori (2)
Steve (2)

(Sorry Bodhi, no votes for Boomerangia.

)

I will update the original post to make it a poll with the above options. Coming soon...

ETA: Making this thread a poll is not an option, so I will make it a new thread that refers back to this one.

ETA again: Here is the poll for voting:
/327/5e/217094/1.html

I suggest calling the Continent of Surplus

because of the amount of unwanted land it has created.

Sort of like the Island of Forgotten Toys
