Name That City: Rome

[Epimethius]

As most of you probably know, we recently conquered Rome, including the namesake city (and a good many others). The City Naming Office held a poll in advace for what to do with captured city in terms of its name. The poll was strongly in favor or renaming them from the registry, a process we've carried out since then. But it was also decided that in the cases of cities with wonders or former capitals they should not be renamed that way. I was originally going to do a poll specifically about them, but forgot. So now we're going to do landmark cities on a case by case basis. The first case is Rome.

So I'm holding a two day period to propose a new name for Rome. After that period a poll will be held, with the additional options of keeping Rome or using the next name on the list. The winner of the poll (or any run offs, if there are too many popular choices) will be the name used henseforth when refering to Rome.

I'd perfer it if names were Japanese, but this is up to the people, so anything really can be proposed. The proposal/discussion period lasts two days before the poll.

I prefer to keep Rome as Rome, as a token of our conquest.

 

[Civanator]

Rome Sweet Home

 

[mhcarver]

perhaps Japanatican Rome or Occupied Rome?

Name it Godzillaville!!!

 

[blackheart]

Roma or Pax Romana, better yet, Pax Japanatica! Romatikku?

 

[Epimethius]

Here's a English to Latinized Japanese translator that works some of the time. It seems pretty accurate to me: http://www.trussel.com/f_nih.htm

I'll collect all the ideas soon.

Rome is good

 

[snipelfritz]

Oooo Ooooo...

In all seriousness I think we should name it "New Rome". In representation that it isn't the same city as it used to be. Its better. Because its ours.

 

[Crimso]

I'm sorry the Cheat, but that is too confusing for me. Keep it as Rome!

 

[Zarn]

Keep it Rome, or do what I use to do in my games (call it Emor, which is Rome backwards ).

 

[KCCrusader]

Caesars' Palace

 

[invy]

We could slightly Japanize it..

 

[Chieftess]

Rome used to be called Roma, which would fit into Japanese quite easily as... Roma.

ロマ = Roma.

 

[Epimethius]

Rome still is called Roma. Just not in English.

 

[Ashburnham]

I'm for sticking with plain ol' Rome.

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

I'm fine with Rome or Roma. Or even Roam. Anything else doesnt to justice to the name system.

SaaM

 

[Furiey]

I prefer just to stick with Rome for this one, in memory of the origins of a large (but rapidly diminishing) portion of our population.

MY crazy boss at work. I believe that Rome, Roma, or Roam would be good.
