Revision as of 01:11, 16 November 2005

As we have had such a huge success with the list contributing to the creation and naming this map, I feel it worthy of a better name than "Western Continent".

As it is such a huge place, and divided down the middle, we might find ourselves reffering to "west West Continent" or to "east West Continent". Not to be confused with "west East Continent"

Perhaps we need three names, one for the continent, and similar ones for the two halves.

For example:

Stacdextro

Staclevo

are both part of the continent called:

Staccore

As you can see I'm not very good at this, which is why I've set up this page.

I feel it would be a geat honour to have your submission chosen as a the name for a new BM world.



Proposals Submitted by Marc J.

'Twin Isles': for the whole map.

Proposals Submitted by Kolyn Mikalson

  • Adar (west isle)
  • Sidlheim (north east isle
  • Duur (south east isle)
  • Madina (south isle)
  • Jezriel (whole continent)

Proposals Submitted by Shoenaemaeh

Continent names:

  • Asgaroth
  • Orkalonner
  • Espyrianor

Note: As Kain said, i think the continent should have one name, and then some easy way to distinguish the island without giving new names and without using east and west to avoid to say that Flowrestown for example is located in East-East-(name continent) or Mimer is in West-East-(name continent).

Distinction between Islands:

  • Oriental and Occidental
  • Day's (Sun rises from the East) and Night's (Sun sets to the West) This one gives more roleplay options to the whole continent's enviroment...

Proposals submitted by matt andrews

  • The whole world/continent: Abina
  • The large western island: Abina-Ovest
  • The large north-eastern island: Abina-Est
  • The medium sized south-eastern island: Abina-Sud

The smaller islands could just take the name of their city.


Proposals submitted by Adam Blaumann

  • The western island: Nyugat
  • The eastern island: Kelet
  • The whole continent: Amaril

(I borrowed 'Nyugat' and 'Kelet' from the Hungarian language, which is supposed to sound good in fantasy (just like the finn language). Their meaning is 'west' and 'east'.)

Proposals submitted by Stefano de Monte


Since there is a region called "Moses End" i would call that island (the big eastern one):

  • Moses (alternative names: Gansu, Zhaanxi)

the small island under it:

  • Lower Moses (alternative names: Sichuan, Shaanxi)

the bigest island on the left:

  • Ono (alternative names: Qidong, Yingo)

and the smallest island in the south:

  • Madina (because its only city)


the entire continent should be called:

  • Isles of Nesh,
  • Tattori Islands.


Of course all of these names can be used in anyway.

Proposals submitted by Kristian

Based on the continent's appearance, I'd call it ""The Lungs"".
