It is nice to see the Western Region at times use the name Fremont.

I think it would be nice if the North Region started using the name Franklin when they could and for the South Region to start using the name Rayburn.

These names are all historically relevant to the regions and were mentioned at the Constitutional Convention.

I agree with you.  But the Committee said "Noooooo." Tongue

I would've preferred Franklin for the North, or maybe Lincoln.

Thanks.

What kind of a committee would do such a thing? 

You know, as someone who uses the name Lincoln Republican, I think your suggestion to use the name Lincoln for the North Region is an excellent idea.  Smiley

Before I saw your posts, I was just about to suggest "Lincoln" for the North as well.

I think the regions should use the names they themselves decided are best for them, lest everyone just goes around using whatever names they personally like best.

It's not like the "Western Region" is just choosing to call themselves "Fremont," they literally named themselves that, while we named ourselves the "South" and you guys became the "North."

Well South and North are hardly interesting or historically significant names.

I was in favor at the Convention of having these names become official, Fremont, Rayburn and Franklin.  But I was out voted.

You know, sometimes government knows best.

How about "Roosevelt" for the North? FDR and Theodore were both from New York....?
