[NR] Give the North a Name!

[David Reynolds]

I agree. Whatever name is chosen should be a name that includes all of our northern brethren.   Not to turn this into a Ansteorra thing, but it does translate Lone Star even though a big portion of us aren't in the Lone Star state.   That is the struggle with Northern suggestions that center around anything Sooner, Red dirty, etc...
