hey, all. a possibility occurred to me for my ASB ATL. basically, i want to look into an alternate name for New England. any ideas?
once this question is answered, i may bring this thread up again for other questions
i'm rather liking the idea of New England being Newfoundland. in that case, what should Newfoundland be called instead? just a quick search turns up Eilean a' Trosg (Scotch Gaelic for "Island of the Cod" and Talamh an Éisc (Irish Gaelic for "Land of the Fish"), apparently because of the island's importance to fishingApparently Newfoundland once referred to all North America than just the island, so if it shifts to where NE is than said island...
North Virginia was an old, alternate name for it before John Smith of Jamestown gave it the moniker of NE.
Maybe use cape cod as the name for the entire region? Or Codland.
in that case, what should Newfoundland be called instead?
Newfoundland was England's first settlement in America I doubt New England would be called Newfoundland over it. But it could be called Gilbert seeing as that is who claimed it.
