Continent and Ocean Name Votes

Pacifica

1

I believe it’s time to start the voting process for the continents and ocean names of Pacifica. We will do one vote per continent and ocean, due to the quantity of suggestions.

Please, use the thread of Origin of Humans and Continent/Ocean Suggestions for further discussions as to not clutter this one.

We start with the first continent, Continent A. With its area being located in the northern most latitudes, its large size, only second among the Pacifican landmasses, and its characteristic tibetan-like mountain range near the northern pole, it’s a rather interesting location.

These are the suggestions:

  1. Karimera
    (Exp.: Based on Kari/Hammer or Ikonen respectively for the rp-er with the many names, who most famously roleplayed as Hammerstar and Huawan)

  2. Ikona
    (Exp.: Based on Kari/Hammer or Ikonen respectively for the rp-er with the many names, who most famously roleplayed as Hammerstar and Huawan)

  3. Septentria
    (Exp. Latin ~ Septentrio → Northern land)

  4. Septentrionalis
    (Exp. Latin ~ Septentrio → Northern land)

  5. Ikitia
    (Exp. From Inuktitut “qikiqtaq”, meaning island, and remove all q, add ia. The northern peoples name the penisular part that, before knowing it wasn’t an island. It later refers to the whole)

  6. Exyaz
    (Exp. Comes from a possible native language with a so far unknown etymology made by modifying .xyz in honour of the old forums)

  7. Karaitheia
    (No explanation provided)

  8. Cabasillm Nord
    (No explanation provided)

Please vote your 3 most liked suggestions before October 5th in a reasonable manner, what you vote could end up being the official name of the continent for a long time, you’ll have a week to think about each suggestion. You can vote for your own suggestions.

I believe the vote has gone fast enough to claim a week isn’t required, so we will change it to today being the last day, and next votes lasting just 3 days.

    (Exp.: Based on Qwert’s rp-name “Derrns Botnienn”)

  2. Bottnia

  3. Arica
    (Exp. Named after a navigator called Rigo Aricò aka Amerigo Vespucci moment)

  4. Zhonga
