"New name for the north" contest...

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

"New name for the north" contest...

Postby The Cypriot » Sun Aug 30, 2009 2:26 am

The Turks (and by that I mean people from Turkey - who else?) have renamed everything in the north, except the name "Cyprus/Kibris" itself. (Granted, they delight in taking things, so why not the name?)

However, soon they'll come to their senses, and realise the name of the island itself must be "totally Turkified". What should they go for?

Here are my suggestions. Please add yours. And no silly comments. This is a serious creative thread. The best entries will be emailed to Talat.

"Teeny-weeny-murky-Turkey"
"Turkey's-toilet" or
"What-genocide?"
"The-EU-is-racist"
"Embargoed-forever"
"Oramia" or
"Barracks-for-40,000-troops" or
"See?-the-Ottoman-Empire-is-alive-and kicking!" or
"Nobody-likes-us-we-say-we-don't-care"
"For-sale...-one-previous-owner-well-looked-after" "Isn't-that-where-those-stupid-donkeys-who-we-hoodwinked-into-thinking-they-were-Turks-before-shafting-them-like-donkeys-live?"

No, I deliberately wanted to exclude Turkish Cypriots because you don't count any more, I'm afraid. Now run along and do what mama tells you.

Come on Turks. Where's your imagination? You're a disgrace to your ancestors who renamed everything. Here are just a few fine examples:

Achna - Düzce
Agios Dometios - Metehan
Leonarisso - Ziyamet
Lythrangomi - Boltaşlı
Mia Milia - Haspolat
Omorphita - Küçük Kaymaklı
Trikomo - Yeni İskele
Pedhieos - Kanlıdere
Tymbou - Ercan
Yialousa - Yeni Erenköy / Maltepe

Cyprus? - How about:

"We-fix-you-after-1963"
"Denktasia"

How about: "Annanarnia"

And since they like those logo-like labels ....

How about "KFC" or "KKK" :roll:

Köy isimleri ikilenecek
20-03-2009
Avrupa Birliği (AB) Komisyonu Kıbrıs Türk Çalışma Masası Şefi Andrew Rasbash’ın “KKTC’deki köy isimlerinin çifte isimlendirilmesi” konusunda uzlaşmaya sağlandığını açıkladığı iddia edildi.
Fileleftheros gazetesi haberi, “İşgal Altındaki Köyler İçin Çifte İsimlendirmeyi Kabul Ediyorlar... AB Bildirimleriyle İlgili Rasbash’ın Açıklaması” başlıklarıyla veren gazete, Andrew Rasbash’ın; Avrupa Komisyonu yetkililerinin, KKTC’de bulunan köyler için iki isim kullanılmasını kabul ettiklerini kaydettiğini yazdı.
Gazetenin, “tüzüğün hayata geçirilmesine ilişkin grubun bazı açıklamalarında neden iki isim kullanıldığı” sorusuna karşılık, Rasbash, “Kıbrıs Cumhuriyeti makamları tarafından verilen resmi isimleri kullanıyoruz. Buna ek olarak, şu anda köy sakinleri tarafından kullanılan isimleri de kullanıyoruz” dedi.

Well done, O. This could make the top five. Together with an old favourite fictional name for the north of mine:

"Never never land"
