  • Name for the 4th city

    Knowing how much it takes to decide upon a name, let's start the discussion early this time

    I propose Hong Kong

            in hindsight, the joke doesn't work too well when almost everyone on this site seems to have english as a second language. A junk is the british name for a chinese boat. sorry :O

                Hong Kong sounds good
                Companions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. Fellow creators, the creator seeks - those who write new values on new tablets. Companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters; for everything about him is ripe for the harvest. - Thus spoke Zarathustra, Fredrick Nietzsche

                  I propose Hong Kong because it's meaning is something like 'fragrant harbor', which should be quite appropriate.

                  Junkyard sounds good too, but isn't so much along the line of our chinese names like Beijing and Xian.

                  I also checked Shanghai and it's quite appropriate too as it originated from a 'sleepy fishing village' as wikipedia says

                    From wiki:
                    The two Chinese characters in the name "Shanghai" (see left) literally mean "on"/"top" and "sea".

                    Hong Kong in Chinese is called Xiang1gang3 btw.

                          Junkyard sounds too english for our cities. Let's take Hong Kong.

                            Hong Kong is good (and yes, much better than Junkyard ), I just thought it would be better for the name of a city we build in the islands to the south.
