Geographical Naming

Several months ago the issue of naming of the continents of The South Pacific Ocean was raised, with minimal progress.

The Farengeto Cartography Office hereby reopens discussion on the issue, as well as the naming additional shared but unnamed areas. Further areas may be nominated if they meet the requirements below.

I propose the the largest continent, the Western Continent, be named Barria, in honor of Max Barry.
#3

How about the Southeastern Continent be called Nordica, in honour of Brutland and Norden. Plus its a kinda cool name. Nordica. Sounds cold!

I'd also like to propose the Rainbow Island be named Christica, in honor of Christie, and the Central Islands named Andia, in honor of Andrew or, as he was known on the forums, The MATT Duck. Both are NSers who helped build this region and left this world long before their time.

I like the idea of naming continents after people who contributed to the region.

I'd like to propose the Northeastern Continent be named Dalindica in honor of LadyRebels, as she was known on the forum, the first Delegate of the Coalition, as well. I'd love to name the rest of the continents after The Shaft and Caer Rialis, two other historic delegates, but it may be awkward if they ever decide to come back...
