	City #4 - name Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

This city will be built in the woods, on a small peninsula (sorta), on the ocean. We need a name. We will be settling this in the next couple of days, so post your ideas quick. In the mean time, if no name has been decided on, we will use the auto name and change it later to the more appropriate name.

Didn't Aphrodite land on a coast from a seashell of something? If that's the case, then 'Aphrodite's Landing' or something like that could work...

We should name it "Octavian's Last Stand" after the soon-to-be ex-Consul OctavianX.

So long Octy. Thanks for all of that....whatever it was... I'm SURE there was SOMEthing... that you did. You shall be missed. But not much.

Ahh, what a sense of humor you have, Candidate MWIA! My, I had quite a wonderful laugh when you suggested that I might lose! Of course, we all know that is exetremely unlikely, so I propose the name "WIA's False Glimmer of Hope."

Aphrodite's Spring
From http://www.cosmosnet.net/azias/cyprus/visit8a.htm:
Akamas itself is named after an Athenian hero of the Trojan war who, according to mythology, married Aphrodite. It is a region of breath-taking beauty. On the northern coast of the peninsula a footpath leads to a grotto with a pool fed by a perennial spring. Here, in the midst of a dense growth of cane and fern with the branches of a fig tree growing from the rock face, pro viding a leaty canopy, is the legendary bathing place of Aphrodite. Legend has it that the ice cold water of the pool has rejuvenating powers.

Aphrodite's Waves
- The goddess of love emerged naked from the waves, according to legend.

One idea, as Con recently had a loss, would be to offer to name the city as a sigh of respect. Of course, Con would have to agree.

Hmm... didn't Aphrodite once appear in a clamshell? How about another form of shell? A CONch, perhaps?

Is this a glimmer of a good idea, or should I stop here?

Thats OK lets stick with the Greek naming convention.

Paddy, work more on the units for now. The ivory city is already designated olympus. Horse city will also need a name (anybody know any greek for horse?) but that city will probably not be built til early august.

Maybe some centaur for the horse city? I can't remember any name yet but if noone else proposes it I'll look in the books.

How about Trojan? It's a very famous Greek Horse.

You realize naming a city "Trojan" is like naming a city "New Yorker"?

"Troy" would be good though.

What about "Trojan Horse" then?

That might point to the city's purpose a little much...

Indeed, any reference to Troy might be risky. Unless CDG somehow gets The Wheel (which would be bad, but oh well) I think we should consider also coming up with a temporary name.

After I posted, I was just thinking that. Why don't we name the city temporarily after a Consul?
