Naming a Nation - Preliminary Discussion

[Octavian X]

In DG1, we were Phoenatica. In DG2, we were called Fanatikans. DG3 saw the rise of Fanaticans. DG4 again witnessed Fanaticans, while most recently we were Japanaticans.

We're still several days away from finally picking our Civ, but this is a subject we can start discussion ahead of time, though it's looking like we may be Ottomans.

So, this is just a thread were we can throw around some ideas, given a hypothetical civ. Propose away!

 

[Chieftess]

Well, it looks like a strong showing for the Ottomans, but anything could happen. (Looks like Babylon might be a 2nd choice for the runoff, and possibly the Iroquois and India). I don't have any ideas right now though.

...

Otticans?
Fanotticans?

Otters?

The-English-Wannabes

How about something actually ottoman?

I have no clue what that may be, but how about it

 

[Provolution]

We should have Random in the runoffs as an option.

Random was excluded, so we will see Civ3 versus PTW/C3C vs Random.

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

Ah, great scott!
The English are making a comeback in the Vanilla polls!

The Flying Circuses, anyone?

 

[Ashburnham]

Well, the Ottomans referred to their capital city as the "Sublime Porte". Perhaps we could be the "Sublimicans"?

Hm, that doesn't sound as cool as I thought it would... I'll get back to you.

 

[truckingpete]

Hmmmm....

Let me think....

Siphaicnas
Ottomannequins

Those sound good? I like Ottomannequins.. Okay it may sound dumb but I am weird..


And I think we should call the president, Sultan. Hey just an idea. That's if we choose the Ottomans.

 

[Strider]

Memalik-i

It has an Ottoman orgin, and it is differant from the previous 5 we've used (which always had a -ca or -can at the end). Don't ask me how to pronounce it though... it's one hell of a tounge twister.

We can call ourselves the Mahruse, in turn.

 

[Shadow Phoenix]

Phoenixacans?
ShadowPhoenixikanaturala!

 

[blackheart]

Our nationa should be Fanatistan, and us Fanatisians.

 

[Strider]

If we go with the english, a name should be simple enough to produce, but if we do go with the english, let's also give ourselves a "title."

The Grand Duchy of ???
The United Kingdom of ???
The People of ???
The Consulate of ???

 

[Ashburnham]

Our nationa should be Fanatistan, and us Fanatisians.

ooh, I like it. My vote's for "Fanatistan" so far. Of course, this is assuming we play as the Ottomans. But, that looks pretty likely at this point.

 

[Provolution]

Ottoman bids : Ottomania, Fanaturkia, Ottomatica
Caliphate For Conquerors, Abstainistan

England bids: Fanatic Kingdom

Babyon bids: Abu Ghraib, Babelonia, Mustachistan

 

[MOTH]

For Babylon, like the Daily Show's: Mess O'Potamia

 

[YNCS]

In the previous games, the countrys' names have all ended with "...aticans." Maybe we should change that. I'm reminded of something from Monty Python and the Holy Grail:

We are no longer the knights who go Ni!. We are now the knights who say ecky-ecky-ecky-POOTANG! -zoopboing-gwzowden!

So how about becoming the Ecky-Ecky-Ecky-POOTANG!-Zoopboing-Gwzowdenians?

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

I second Mess O'Potamia (if its the Babs)
and YNCS, thats a bit long

 

[YNCS]

Okay, drop one of the "Eckys."

 

[RegentMan]

The Turkintinians?
The Turkicans?
Islamia?

 

[Dominik]

Ottomica? -> Ottomans
Fanalonia? -> Babylonia
Fanatica United (FU)? -> England

 

[Chieftess]

Ottomica? -> Ottomans
Fanalonia? -> Babylonia
Fanatica United (FU)? -> England

I don't think the last one (initials) would work out too well.
