The name list is in the Lion's Tale.

The meeting this weekend is to discuss the needs and some planning for a
Southern Regional Festival, which you would be very much involved since
we have to get it calendared through you. There will NOT be any
discussion of the name or voting preferences at the meeting at Hero of
the Temple. There is not enough time for that with the amount of
discussion we expect on the event planning.

I too am blunt,  the posting you first put out sounded much like you were
telling all of us to shut up, and you would do it the way you wanted. I
can recall a few others who have used that tone of voice on Ansteorrans
in the past. Really not the way to have folks help you.

It is that way on the name of a region, principality, local group, etc.
(if that name will pass the College of Heralds. And all of the names so
far submitted have had the chances of passing assessed and published in
the Lion's Tale, as was agreed upon many months ago -- thanks Aelfwyn and
Daniel).
