Ya know, for the first few years what we now call "The Stones" was called "the new site". It took years for a personality and the name to develop. Perhaps we should just let the site select a name of it's own. I am sure something appropriate will evolve. I like all the creative brain storming, but there really is no need to force anything to be set in stone right away. Everyone will know what we mean if we say "the new site". Not trying to be a stick in the mud, I'm just not in an unnessacerry hurry.
Peace,

Actually, the idea about Raven's Acre came to me yesterday because I was listening to Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana" (It was the last day of Carnival, after all)........and I had just gotten to the section titled "Uf dem Ager"....meaning "On the Field"........and since "Acre" is a cognate for "Ager"; well, there you go. One could also go with "Raven's Field", I guess.
But since Green Acres was near Hooterville, and Raven's Acre (?) would be near Hooterville (okay, okay.....different spelling and pronunciation), your connection makes a bit of sense, Devin.
All of a sudden, I AM SCARED!

Ravenswood? Raven's Acre?

Or maybe Ravensforest? Or perhaps Raven's Grove? I think that's kind of classy (BTW - a grove does not have to be fruit trees, it's generally a small wood without underbrush). Then we'd have "the stones" and "the grove"...
My ha'penny's worth.

Hwæt! We Gardena in geardagum,
þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon.
Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum,
monegum mægþum, meodosetla ofteah,
egsode eorlas. Syððan ærest wearð
feasceaft funden, he þæs frofre gebad,
weox under wolcnum, weorðmyndum þah,
oðþæt him æghwylc þara ymbsittendra
ofer hronrade hyran scolde,
gomban gyldan. þæt wæs god cyning!
Beowulf, 1-11
