Following up on the Ragnar theme, I rather like "Ragnarsfell" or
"Ragnarsfiall" as the definitions _could_ appropriately describe the mix of
geographical features of the various sections of the proposed principality
(and also sound pretty cool).  "Ragnarsthwaite" sounds rather unusual to me
(which always has a certain appeal) and also is descriptive of the process
(although "cut off" may sound stronger than anyone intends). 

Daniel, were those really p's or are they thorns?
