[NR] NORTHERN REGIONALNAMING a list for heralds and timeline

[Cameron Lewis]

If we have the list of names in the August Blackstar we could poll in August 
at the meetings.  I would hope that most folks would get their Blackstar in 
a timely manner and if they don’t go to meetings or want to mail in the 
polling they would have the month of August to do that.  It also gives June 
and July meetings to announce the polling in August.

We could have a list of the names in the August Blackstar and they could be 
polled on in September a month later but I don’t feel that it would be 
needed.  There is plenty of time for folks to hear about a polling between 
now and August meetings.

Wait, I'm confused. :P

You'll be calling for the polling in August, to be done in September, after 
people have had a chance to look at their Black Stars? Or you're calling for 
the polling now, to be done in August, which may happen before people even 
get their Black Stars in August?

Here is the list that Tadhg suggested from his mathy-ness capabilities, that 
I do not have, and the meanings and languages if there was information 
given.  I would ask that any name-savvy heralds look it over and see if 
there would be any conflicts or mis-whatevers with them so we could cull 
this list down just a bit more before we do a formal polling on names.  We 
would like a name that we can register as only a Kingdom can register a 
region name so no one else takes it.

This is the 8th of June.

If we can get any research done by the 27th of June 2011 the list can get 
re-compiled and an ad can be put into the August blackstar for a polling 
(who's deadline is July 1st).

This also gives time for new submissions to happen this month if anyone 
would like to do more research for names to add to the list.

I WILL BE CALLING FOR AN OFFICIAL POLLING TO BE DONE IN THE NORTHERN REGION 
AT THE POPULACE OF EACH BARONY, PROVINCE, SHIRE, AND CANTON DURING THE MONTH 
OF AUGUST 2011 AT THEIR LOCAL MEETING.

If anyone thinks that this timeline is bad, please let me know, I am always 
willing to change with new evidence.

the list of names follows


> Hrithmarc
Means Tempest Land in Old English
> Hastmark
means horse lands in Swedish
> Cyrmoden
Cyrm, pronounced Kirm, meaning "A clamor, noise" and Oden, meaning "a court 
or chamber, floor space, an indoor area." The Court of Noise -
> Ebenen      german
means plains, which describes most of Oklahoma and the Texas panhandle
> Midgrens
Dutch for Heartland
> Quivara
Historical (possibly from the Arabic for "Great") name for the region 
including Eastern New Mexico through the Texas Panhandle, Oklahoma and 
Kansas.
> Styringeard
Styring, from "styr (pronounced stir) ", meaning "to move", like stirring a 
soup or a stirring song that rouses troops. It also is the root of "storm", 
as clouds and weather were moving or stirring. the word "styraman" means "to 
storm".Geard is also Gard, meaning a garden or yard, an enclosure of ground. 
Styringeard (pronounced "Stirring Gard") would mean the Stirring Garden.
> Norchester    middle english
Northern Fortification
> Biornrice     old english
Translated from "warrior, hero" and "realm, people" to "realm of heroes" or 
"people of heroes". Pronunciation is roughly "beeorn-rys".
> Northunor or Norðþunor old english
Translates to "thunder from the north". Pronunciation is roughly 
"nordh-thunor".
> Reodweald   don’t know the language means Red Land
> Morland  or Mðrland old english
Translates to "wild hilly country".
> Axia
It's the word "axis" modified with the -ia place name suffix to signify that 
our region is Ansteorra's "north star" ( aligned to the polar axis, so to 
speak).
> Glomeval
Conjecturally period, this is a variation on a Norse Runestone found in the 
Northern Region, outside Heavener, and shows that a Norseman named "Glome" 
laid claim to the valley, ie: "Glome's Vale", in period, and, in fact, 
previous to the Spanish expeditions. A possible alternate translation calls 
the same area "Gnomeval", or "Valley of the Gnomes". The runestone is part 
of a chain that ran north and south, along the present day Oklahoma/ 
Arkansas border, or, the current border of Ansteorra and Glen Abhean, and 
would have referred to not just the immediate valley, but "all points west, 
as far as Glome could hold".
> Moralor  or Mðralor   old english
Translates to "wild hilly country". Taken from "mðrland" (wild hilly 
country) and "alor" (country) with "alor" taking the place of "land". It 
should work so long as the scribes don't inadvertently get the "a" too close 
to the "l" and turn it into a "d".
