Fort D'aroo is going to be renamed Fort Eomeir.

I've posted a few threads asking for iconic suggestions and get nothing but smartass posts.

:end transmission:

I missed those threads. Why the name change? How'd you chose "Eomeir"?

Where's the thread at?

Are you referring to a new one or a really old one? Either way we can get a new one going to see.

But yeah Fort Eomier is cool too.

Yeah, I too missed those threads. But I can probably shed some light on the name "Eomeir". I just so happens that Erougn LOVES himself so much he is naming the city after himself :lol:

Ok, I only got that cause I looked at his sig, sorry hehe.

Well, now that I finally have some good replies, any suggestions? I really don't want to name it after myself, I just can't come up with anything good :-(

Hehe, we'll I'm not great at names, but I'll get back to you when I think of three or so.

Naming depends on the purpose/meaning/homage:

Rorana - a play on "Rori", one of the first player cities on Rori

Enterprise - One of the most famous ships in history, a nice nod to the RID Navy

Ducimus - Latin: "We lead"

Ubique - Latin: "Everywhere"

Pro Imperio - Latin: "For the Empire" (NOTE: "Empire" by itself in Latin is "Imperium", "Imperio" is in the Ablative case.)

Dynamis - Greek: "Strength", in New Testament used to denote miracles

Nex Novus - Latin: "New Death" (if you're going for the darker side)

Vita Novus - Latin: "New Life"

Last Stand - from Custer's Last Stand

Bosporus - Body of water that helped defend Constantinople for a 1,000 years

If you'd like any other phrases in Latin, let me know. I can do a little Greek as well, but I'm better at Latin.

Well, in the spirit of naming the place after people, here is a few that I can come up with right off hand.

Fort Tarkin (A great grand moff if I might say so myself)
Fort Nevah (Backwards for "Haven". Mos Nevah used to be the name of a rebel city on Tatooine however)
Fort Victory (Star Destroyer Class)
Fort Waucod (I ran outta names, sorry, Arev knows the latin thing, it's hard to compete with that lol)

Oh yeah, Fort Ricky Bobby...to honor the greatest racecar driver to ever live...just ask him.

W00t!

Some great ones there!! I may already see one I like, but I'd like to keep this open for a little while longer to see what comes up.

我会说中文。中文〉拉丁语。Sorry, my girlfriend is a student of Latin so we playfully argue over which language is better. I still find it amusing that latin language (拉丁语) means to force someone into military service. When the Chinese take words from other languages they just find characters that sound similar to how the word is pronounced in its mother language, so Latin language is La1 Ding1 Yu3.

Anyways, there is your language lesson for today.

I would offer up some names, but they never seem to sound cool unless they are translated into English. Actually, 道 (Dao4), which means The Way, would be perfect for a force sensitive. 哭集灭道（ku3ji2mie4dao4) translates to "all life is suffering; the cause of suffering is desire; emancipation comes only by eliminating passions; the only way is the noble Way. See its so much cooler in English. Okay I'm really done now :oops:

Fort Kalosis - Ancient Hell Realm full of demons and evil warriors only the strongest can survive in this place.

Spill, Erougn! What'd you pick?

Erougn · Post by **Erougn** » Thu Oct 02, 2008 4:22 pm

I'm going to go with...

(insert drum roll here)

Fort Victory

It was actually on my mind for a long time. It's a good tie-in with the whole purpose of the city (PvP haven and buff place), and the space thingy is cool as well. It also is a lot less egotistical than naming a city after yourself.

Many thanks to everyone, you made the choice very difficult :-)
