NationStates Jolt Archive

Ok, so ive only been on NS for a few months, but im seeing a lot of nations that have names that just dont sound right. I mean, no offense to anyone, but what kind of nation would have a name like "Tree Hugging Lesbians" or "Omz222"? Anyway, my question is, would you change the name of your country to something more serious if you could? Please specify why you would.

Naw, wouldn't change it for the world, just kinda grown on me. Besides, explaining it would be an OOC nightmare.

ok people choose there name for a reason and if they wanted to change it they probly would create a new nation and leave the other one alone to get deleted thats what i did.

I like my name, but you have to pronounce it correctly to get the joke.

EDIT: And shouldn't this be in general?

Interesting, interesting... I guess im among the minority who prefers serious names.

i would if only to delete the underscor and prime in my name but that about it

I was more concerned about the intent on other's eyes about my nations name, than anything doing about how seriously I wanted it, quite actually.

Are you saying that my name isn't serious? :(

To be fair, plenty of names can be declared "not serious enough" based on just about any subjective criteria, and this is not restricted to newer nations.

Not true, sometimes the name you want is already taken so you need to come up with something else.

How do you pronounce your name?

I'm happy with my nation's name. It's semi-serious, and that's good enough for me. :p

Ahl Imvade ja
I'll invade ya

Oh... And all this time I thought it was some wierd way to say "I'm your faja."...

I wouldn't. Even though people sometimes think I must be a woman cuz of the name. Let's them underestimate me...

I wouldn't change this one, and I think the same is the case for most of my puppets. Some of 'em are pretty weird, but there's a reason behind each. I'd get rid of the '-'s in -The Law- if I could, though.

You know, its funny... so far only two of the people that have responded to this thread has a not-serious-enough name (I wont name names). It seems that if you have a not serious name, you dont give a %#^% about explaining why.

My name rocks all of you. Why would I change it?

no way would i change the name

Naw, I like it the way it is. It's a desert (for the most part), and it was named after an ancient god who taught the natives to make boats and sail to the mainland...
