I'm having difficulty naming certain things, always have. I'm going to use this thread to ask for your opinions to weigh in on my decision. First up, the new name of Telosan America following the civil war: The Falkland Confederation or the Federation of the Falkland Isles Second, when Telosan America goes under the new name, it will have it's capital moved to Salvador, Brazil. Should I rename it or keep Salvador? Please post name suggestions if you think it should change. Edited by Telosan, Aug 15 2009, 09:59 PM.

I personally like Falkland Federation, but then again I'm a bit bias as I've always been fond of Federation almost as much as Empires :lol:

But you like Confederacies too, right? Confederation has to be similar, right? |

No RD, NRE hates confederacies, he's a yankee at heart thus his love of federations and strong central governments as well as large stove pipe hats accompanied by beards... and going to the theater to watch Our American Cousin. ... Is that RD creeping around in the shadows behind the seventh balcony? :lol: |

I voted no just because I think you should come up with something yourself. I have no suggestions, but I don't like Salvador. Be creative. |

I just look around on Google Earth until I find a name that's pretty cool. You could also just look at random maps. Edited by Porcu, Aug 16 2009, 04:52 PM.

When I named my heads of states for Venice, I had not found an Italian name generator yet. Right now, Drake Reed and Zeke Tarriston/Tarringston ('Cause I can't remember what the hell his name is and change it every post.) are the only un-Italian named people in Venice. I want to rename them, but I'm sure it would cause a great deal of confusion. This is just a heads up that Drake's name will change soon. Zeke's term as Consul is almost up anyway, so I'm not going to change it. Second, I had an Italian name generator before, but on closer examination, I discovered that it only has 100 names in the pool, none of which are last names. That's why so many of my characters have the same first or last names. Some of them are using other's last names as their first and vice versa. So I need a new name generator that also has last names. I've been unsuccessful in the search for a serious generator (The only one that provides a believable name only gives you one, ever.) thus far. Anyone know of a good one? |

I don't really use name generators. I prefer to look at name lists, and history, and select names from that I believe reflect the character in question. |
