Naming Suggestions Region 4

[jdjdjd]

The Region consists of the soon to be Apolytonian Cities of:

Paris
Marseilles
Rouen
Lyons

This region is diverse geographically, jungle in Marseilles, forest near Paris, two rivers, the coast near Rouen and a portion of the Great Rift near Paris and Lyons. There is a source of iron obtainable, once Paris expands further culturally, and Rouen and Paris could be a jumping ground to some free area to expand in, i.e. just West of the Great Rift and north of the Russians. There are some nice plains in that area, horses, wheat, more forest....

Having said that about this soon to be beautiful area of our nation, soon to be our most geographically pleasing area (no offense to my fellow governors); however, its most dominant charcteristics would be the wine shared by Lyons, Marseilles and Paris.

Finally, this is also the area where I spent several adventures, please see past editions of the Jungle Gazette, first as a friend then as a prisoner, now as an enemy. The despicable LeClerc and dubious Joan D'Arc will pay very shortly for their earlier transgressions.

Please, using this bit of history and geography, suggest names. I have some suggestions, but will save them in hopes you all come up with something better.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hmm, well I think it's vital that the name commemorate the fact that this area was at one time the heart of France. And the fact that, unless the military just DECIMATES the populace, there is going to be a significant number of people of french decent in your region!

So... I speak french, let me think about this, I can come up with a couple of really good ones...

Chezcoeur Province! (heart home, pronounced "shay cur")
-or-
Main du Vin (wine hand... but it rhymes, "man do van")

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Antigallia (shortened version of "Old France", again in Latin)

Lutetia (the Roman name for Paris)

Gallic Plain

[Spiffor]

Ile de France is good (true name for the region surronding Paris IRL, and heart of France).
If we really go for something virtual, I'd go for Rose Province ("rose" means Pink in French, and the rose flower as well), or something else built around "Rose".

What about...Garlic Plain?

Now, seriously, Lutetia is great. And beautiful, too...

I think, to make the name have a little backround to it, we should name one of the cities "Faust City".

Faust City would be a decent city name because Faust (The People of the city we plan to capture) made a deal with Mephistopholes (sp?)(France), but then was later accepted by God (Apolyton).

I think it's a good name.

How about Faust's Vineyard?
except faust is German...

Gentlemen, I see a mention of Cities names, if you have any others please post them. May as well be prepared to get rid of those un-Apolytonian names.

Also, can some one provide me with the French translation of Joan's Head and Joan's Heart?

Thanks.

Edit:

Oh and what is the English translation of Ile de France

[Reddawg]

Joan's Head = tête de Jean
Joan's Heart = coeur de Jean
ÃŽle de France = island of france, or french island

;-)

[Spiffor]

Here goes the French teacher again (sorry, it's just that I'm French)

Joan is "Jeanne" in French. "Jean" would be John. Big difference isn't it
Paranoid is said "paranoïaque", even if you could be understood with "paranoïde" (not a French word, but not many word begin with "paranoï" )
