Names for Our Fair Lands

During the visit of King AEdward and Queen Yolande in AS38, it became apparent that the various "national" parts of the recently-expanded Kingdom of Lochac needed meaningful names. A brainstorming session on the NZ-wide Althing email list led to the following unqualified list. Note: brainstorming depends on not knocking down suggestions when they appear, because they'll often give rise to better suggestions. But it does mean that some of the names listed below are very unqualified. Narnia, anyone?

At this moment, the Kingdom Herald, Lord William de Castille, is conducting a process begun by his predecessor for determining an SCA name for New Zealand which is both acceptable to a large proportion of the populace, and registerable with the College of Heralds. If any of the names below take your fancy, or give rise to another idea, email your choice(s) to Lord William. He asks only that there be no joke names or time-wasting please, i.e. the names have to be historically plausible and capable of justification in later phases of the process.
