[NationStates] Planet Naming

[Baron]

We've got the lovely world Sinclair has built, now let's give it its names.

(my mspaint skills are faulty)

Put your suggestions in the relevant threads for the following, specifying which you want to name (multiple suggestions for each allowed)

Continent 1: Northern Hemisphere to Equator
Continent 2: Southern Hemisphere
Continent 3: Equatorial to Southern Hemisphere
Continent 4: Equatorial
Continent 5: Northern Polar Icecap to Equatorial
Continent 6: Northern Hemisphere to Polar Icecap (the area between the thicker red lines is Continent 6 turf)
Continent 7: Southern Polar Icecap

Ocean 1: Southern Hemisphere, wide
Ocean 2: Southern Hemisphere, wide
Ocean 3: Northern Hemisphere down to Southern, tall

Major Sea 1
Major Sea 2
Major Sea 3

Suggestions will be put into a poll, and the winners will be put on the map.

 

[Lord_Sinclair]

I'd suggest breaking up the northern section from continent 5; perhaps split it in the middle of sea 3 and give the northwest to continent 6?

 

[Cap]

Continent 6 has been in RP referred to as Astenbech (from Ostenbereich, "Eastern Place") by a majority of the nations on said continent.

 

[Valonyx]

Continent 2: Southern Hemisphere

Muh suggestion;

Continent 2: Korkron

EDIT: Also,

Ocean 2; The Aegir Sea (Yes, I know it's an ocean, but ''The Aegir Ocean'' doesn't sound as nice.

 

[Gregor]

Sea 3 has been referred to as the "Aechen Gulf"

 

[LightTwig]

Sea 3 has been referred to as the "Aechen Gulf"

The name is alright, but Sea 3 isn't a gulf. I've been calling it the Kogatan Sea, mainly because Kogata has historically done trade across it. I know this is a little self flattering, so I'm not going to enforce the name.

As a side note, Kogata's string of islands is called the Tagena Archipelago. So alternatively, I'm happy to call it the Tagena Sea or something like that.

 

[Scardrac]

As a basic representative of the first continent and ocean, I have dubbed the bay (ocean 1) The Cascading Sea

As well as the continent, Diozerilla

Filthy western gaijin.

Double L in spanish makes a "y" sound.

fine i will reroll for the illiterates. I suppose it would cause too much confusion, like the Sallana thing.

" Docárron " is my second suggestion.

 

[Gaby]

we of the Asian Consortium have been fighting over the name of Continent 5 for a while.
@LightTwig @Glados @Sir Andrew Wallins @VanquishedVyre @223hero7

we were gonna go with Zhao, but since that was a generic asian last name we were like "nah"
so now are confuzzled.

so we had these as suggestions:
Eleon
Wredea
Wichall
Dreobuan
Aiyeth
Xiorea
Vlazuqul
Eupihush
Eicatios
Chiuqapela
Eqias

and @LightTwig liked Xiorea, and so did I.

also what is Rygan's forum name because I forgot

 

[Valonyx]

Xiorea's the only one that sounds asian in all that...

what about Xior?

and Rygan is VanquishedVyre

EDIT; IMO Zhao, although it might be stereotype or whatever, sounds very nice to me!

 

[Centurion]

Xiorea has my vote as "zie oh ray"

 

[Valonyx]

so huh, this still going?

 

[Baron]

Exams first

 

[Lord_Sinclair]

Here's a map of Zanala, taken from the main Zanala thread, that names some of the nearby landmarks:

The mountain range is the Menae, hence the naming of the Menae Pass.

Continent three: Vlesela
