Well, Chris Columbus thought that North America was India, so he called the natives Indians. They are stilled (unofficially) called Indians, so.......And anyways, it could be like Rhode Island, which I believe isn't really an island. Am I correct?. However, I would like to disagree with the name Uber in it. He can have a city, not a landmass, or so I've heard. Unless Uber Isle was named by a German, and it just translates to Over Isle .
Maybe we could decide the names of terrian features via polls, but given the reliability of those things (*points at the Presidential election*), we probably shouldn't count on it.
But I think whoever finds a certain landmark/land area first, or acknowledges its stragetic importance first, should get to name it. That's typically how it works in the real world.

BTW, has anybody noticed this strategically important continent we're standing on?

I think someone should suggest names, and the name is adopted if nobody voices a strong opposition, as it has been done until now. With this, we already have accepted landmarks such as "Notylopa", "the Great Rift", "Mountains of Valhalla". If we give the ability to name landmarks to the one who discovers them first, Uber and other turnchatters will get to name pretty everything. Our current system, while not flawless, is fine.
If we want to name something after one's own screenname, we can do this with cities ("Tassagrad")

skywalker : actually, if it was "first come first serve", our sea would be called "the Great Sea of Apolytonia" as Panag suggested ages ago in my landmark name thread.
Saying it's first come first serve is utterly stupid, as many megalomaniacs will struggle over their "firstness".
I find "Home Divide " terrible, and I don't think anybody who still has his senses will use it.
My suggestion for this ocean remains "Arcadian Ocean" (Vlad Antlerkov). What do you people think ?

Columbus thought he had found the Indies Islands, not India that why he called them Indians.
I agree let's learn more of the lay of the land before naming certain things. I don't have a problem with naming landmarks after people unless it goes overboard: like Lake kring, Plains of kring, Hills of kring, that kind of thing; though I wouldn't want a city or landmark named after me. I don't mind naming either one.
IMHO ...... we should ask the Minister of Imperial Expansion to handle this.
Every Mon - he selects 2 strategic landscape and invite everybody to propose names.
Wed - he shortlists max 5 names for each landscape and set up poll.
Sat - poll closed. Name with the most number of votes is selected. Announces to the public.
I already thought of changing it, as I don't really like "home divide" either. However, I really don't want any more "Apolyton-esque" names. I think either Sky Channel (from Skywalker Channel) or Skywalker's Crossing (as I want to be on the first ship to cross it).
