And that’s exactly what I’m asking for - for someone to actually pick names for the continents. Because as of now, we have a lot more names then the continents. Unless we are gonna name every island.
Okay, i am for having Antheia on the big red continent, lets vote??? Or how are we going to do it?
Would there be a vote for the names of every continent? Although democracy sounds good, there are a load of names to choose from. Perhaps names could be nominated like in the Magistrate elections?
Would Propobly be the best idea i guess.
Agreed. How about give until the end of this week. I suggest that only names that are nominated and seconded should pass.

This works for me. I think for each continent we should find three names and vote the best of the three.
If everyone is okay with it, we should pick from all of the names we have found including from the list of mine. If its okay, I can run the voting.
What ever gets seconded.
Anyone want to start off the nominations for continent names?
I’ll do it once I get off work.
Okay here are the nominations, and they aren’t for any particular continent. Let’s just get the names out of the way first, and then worry about what continent gets what name (this also includes the oceans too):
Ceylavica
Pelatrus
Tarevan
Arcevaea
Pontuarya
Peylenon
Paranica
Tirilea
Grananthon
Geniatya
Vesilia
Inainia
Tasania
Cerycia
Aglaea
Astraea
Antheia
Midori
Alright. We have six continents and two oceans (we already have the Gulf of Itur and Keigan Sea). The names that get the most nominations will be the names our continents go by from now.
I nominate Astraea for the Central Blue continents.
Central Blues: Astraea - Wikipedia says she is one of the personifications of justice. As the Capital District is in the Dark Blue Continent, it seems fitting. Should the north-south system be put in place, then it could hit two birds with one stone.
Not sure about the others. Midori is green in Japanese and fits for Green Continent with Kandorith in it (Probably what Vulshain was thinking as well).
Hmm, I guess. I nominate Midori for the Green Continent.
Il nominate Antheia for big red continent.
I nominate Tasania for the red continent… unless we can call it duke nukem!
Well, since we could use someone organizing this, and since I am currently the map guy (this may be changing soon, I have my ideas), I think once I see a good amount of names thrown into the hat by, say, Wednesday, we’ll have a vote similar to the Magisterium election votes.
I think we might wanna think about this for a bit longer tbh. Continents are named for reasons of which I am not really sure but I do know that both North and South American continents were named after some Vespuci douchebag. 
I bet alot of it has to do with environment as well.

Amerigo is rotating in his grave right now, lol.
Seeing as roleplay is a little slow right now, and that we all seem to be coming from different vantage points right now, yeah, we don’t need to vote on this right now. We can wait, especially since the discussion’s been pretty good so far.
here are some simple etymology explanations for the RL continents. Might help?

I agree. We have a lot of good names and ideas at the moment. We can come back to this discussion at a later date (not a year later mind you, maybe in a few weeks).
Oh and excellent research there, Alleghany. Good work.

I wasn’t saying hold off on the discussion, I was saying hold off on the voting.
And I know this is dumb but I always thought of the big continent as “Pangaea”, lol.
