West Continent/Continent Name Proposals

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.

I think that you will all agree that the final decision should be made by the creator of the map and the game. --mcsporran 13 November 2005 16:09 (CET)

I think the names should be alot easier to remember than those currently suggested, but that might only be my view --Kain 14 November 2005 02:48 (CET)

"the final decision should be made by the creator of the map" - trouble is, there's no single creator of the map. Darfix did the original geography, Gias Kay Lee did the initial region borders, I did the revised region borders and some geography tweaks, and Gias Kay Lee did the sea routes and region names. So it's a truly collaborative effort. -- Matt andrews 14 November 2005 09:07 (CET)

Yeah, I guess Tom is the one who decides how to call it. -- Gsklee 14 November 2005 10:05 (CET)

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'.)
