What’s in a Name? - Zinjanthropos - Sep 5, 2026
Are there any other things and places DJT can rename? Can we suggest names for him to consider?
Why not start with Hell? Well America is already taken for a few places, but why not call it America also? Hey, call it Canada if you like, won’t be offended.
Is it true that 16th century German Mapmakers used the feminine Latin name for Amerigo, which is America, and it’s been that way ever since? I propose change America to Amerigo in honor of Amerigo Vespucci to at least get the gender right. How many other nations have feminine names? According to AI, Canada is masculine but has been used as a girl’s name on occasion.
