Second City - Name - Discussion thread #1

[dutchfire]

On a serious note, "Equus Aurum" doesn't sound like proper Latin to me (though I could be completely off; my Latin grammar is a little shaky.)

On that note are we trying to say "Golden Horse" or "Horses and Gold?"

You might be right. Equus Aureus (Golden Horse) or Equus Auri (Horses of Gold) might be better. I'll try to find my dictionary and give an answer.

After having done some research in the dictionary:
Although Aureum is the more commonly used adjectivum (adjective), the substantivum (noun) Aurum can also be used to say that something is made of gold.

SO what Golden Horse variant are we going to use in the poll?

 

[grant2004]

I think the best way to go about doing this would be to create a poll on which "golden horse" variant should be used in the official city name poll, it's a bit complicated, but it seemed to work well enough when we had to decided on the none of the above variant for the capital.

To change the name of things confuses the game, previous posts and maps
lose meaning.

Otherwise, all names are good.

Ahh, but that's life in the real world. How many places used to belong to one tribe and now belong to another? Names get changed in the process. C'est la vie. Besides, we seem to have an energetic cartographer. Let's keep him busy. ;-)

So when do we poll this...We should settle this name soon as city 3 is going to need one.

Suggestions thus far:

Falcon's Haven
Equus Aurum
Golden Horde
Abstain

 

[robboo]

make sure its clear abstain is a name not a decision.
