SR - Lionsmouth

[Casey&Coni]

I'm one of the ones who helped dream this one up (Konrad and Jovian both
helped with it, too).  Yes, Daniel, I can see you shivering from my desk
here- we*dreamt* it right up.  After reading your post about how names
really didn't _mean_ anything per se, other than an identifier of who lived
there (Saxony=land of the Saxons, Normandy=land of the Normans, France=land
where the Germans go for a stroll whenever they please, etc) we gave up on
trying to piece together a 'meaningful' name and consulted some maps for a
more phonetic likeness to old world names.  We were looking at maps and
thinking of names like Dartmouth and Monmouthshire and we said to
ourselves... "Now, that would be a clever idea for a name that might sound
very nice... how about Lionsmouth?"  Sounded great.  We especially liked it
if we go with the device that has a lions head on it lookin smack atcha with
its mouth open and its tongue out as it makes for quite a lovely little cant
(we thought the college of arms would like it, too).  We posted to the list
asking for help with it to no avail... can you help with this one?

BTW, Leontofora is greek for 'land of the lions'.  Timo's submission, and I
like that one a lot, too.  Not all that many greek names for groups in the
knowne world, eh?
