I know you want a "reboot" but I think you should stick with the name "Lietuva", it's fits (I think the basic idea of your new nation and has real identification with nations that have been here for a year or so at least. I think you would benefit from not changing. You could even ICly RP the transition.

[two cents deposited.]

 

[Lietuva]

Fine. Since I have no backbone, and no opinion of my own, I`ll keep my current name.

 

[Breotonia]

Well I don't want to fell like I've crushed a weak will into accepting my point of view. I just think it'll be better in the long run. Anyway, name changes confuzzle me.

 

[Jydsken-Østveg]

Speaking of name changes, perhaps NeoBritain should get something more unique.

 

[Tyvia]

NeoBritish Empire was actually a good name, as it simply meant that it was the New British Empire, but NeoBritain doesn't quite cut it indeed.

 

[Breotonia]

We've been over this...:

While it is a stupid name it's the name that people recognize and I think that's more valuable than how witty it is. Coro, you have room to talk with funny (and, more importantly, unpronoucable) names. NeoBritish Empire may have a more clear meaning, as Cal pointed out, but as there was no original British Empire it still lacked since. I dropped the "empire" bit because I thought it a bit more stupid than the rest of it, having no empire to justify the name for one.

 

[Gouw Marken]

(...) having no empire to justify the name for one.

Isn't this what the British Empire all was about the last 50 or so years?

 

[Breotonia]

True enough. Though they were (and remain to this day) imperial masters of the Falklands and all the sheep within.

 

[Mergogne]

I thought you might want to exchange it for something that is similar, but sounds a little less campy, Like NeueBritain (which kind of has a dutch/german feel to it). I don't know...the advantage of that is that it wouldn't completely invalidate every previous usage of the word "Neobritain" on the forum...

 

[Breotonia]

I don't know I'm allergic to change. Plus I think that has NeueBritain has a more French sound to it than it does German. I can see the Dutch. If someone had a really top notch suggestion I would consider it. If nothing else to get me in an RP mood, sort of like a nation change without the hassle (or fallout).

 

[Mergogne]

(I don't know where I got neue Britain from)

...what about just New Britain? It's not much of a change from the old one, but it sounds a bit better, I think.

 

[Breotonia]

Hmmm...don't know. Not really enough of a difference to justify a change. It sounds only slightly less terrible.

 

[Saracia-Polamar]

Why don't you just drop the Neo?

 

[Breotonia]

I suspect that Kapi will say something about britfaggery.

Actuallyhe'll probably do that no matter what I do.

 

[Tulus and Biminis]

Actually I've been wanting to tell you to change it. It is too sciency. New Britain would be a lot better.

 

[Breotonia]

I can see this is something the community feels strongly about If there was a really good name for me to replace it with I would in a heartbeat but so far all the options and anything I can come up with are so minuscule it would make a change not worth the effort.

 

[Tulus and Biminis]

I'm telling you, it would be a major and beneficial change.

 

[Breotonia]

Maybe I will just go with "Britain".

EDIT: I would have to drop any other Neo's that I have. Like my capital would be just plain old London. That's seems like a big change.

 

[Tulus and Biminis]

But it would be way better than NeoLondon. Just the fact that there isn't a space between 'Neo' and 'London' is a bit weird and unorthodox. Perhaps you want to ICly have the city's name changed to something more unique and original? Just a thought.

 

[Breotonia]

I've grown sort of attached to the names, actually. But you're probably right. No super new changes though, baby steps. Lest my brain implode.

I'd like to request a name change to "Britain".
