This is the page for proposing a name for the continent which is codenamed West Continent at the moment.
As we have had a huge success with the community contributing to the creation and region naming of this potential new map, it is widely agreed that this new continent is worthy of a better name than just "West Continent". Since it is such a huge place, and divided down by the middle, we might find ourselves reffering to "west West Continent", or "east West Continent". Not to be confused with "west East Continent" of course.
Perhaps we will need three names, one for the continent itself, and two for the two halves. As an example:
Stacdextro
Staclevo
They are both parts of the continent called:
Staccore
As a notice, Tom has yet to comment on this name proposals soliciting, and it is likely that he is the one who is going to decide the official name of West Continent if the project ever go into the game.
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:
- Ying-Yang
- 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:
- Ying and Yang
- 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 Finnish). 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"".
Proposals Submitted by Ghostly
Based on what Kristian Thy said:
- Lunigma - more interesting
- Gulliman
- Holscht
Proposals Submitted by Gias Kay Lee
In my opinion the continental names should be straightforwards to people even at first glance, so I would suggest something like:

Proposals Submitted by Shenron Family
- Whole Thing - Twin Isles of Zultar

These ideas intertwine with the history I made for the continent.
