Seeing as geographical names are being randomly renamed, nows our chance to put this to bed.. I introduce, The Atlantic Isles of Ireland and Britain.

  1. Can’t we just call the whole thing Westeros and let the tourist dollars roll in?

  2. I see no problem with calling it them the Irish Isles. What’s the issue?

  3. I think there’s an agenda here to promote some form ethnic homogeneity throughout the islands. Lets just leave it as ‘us’ and ‘them’ for now.

  7. They don’t need a silly new mouthful of a collective term. Keep it simple. When talking about them call them “Britain and Ireland”.

  8. “Britain and Ireland” has been used for decades, neither country has used use British Isles in dealings with each other for nearly 30 years now.

  9. The Celtic Union for Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. England goes back to France. This simplifies everything and reunites everyone.

  13. Put what to bed?

    The two governments don’t use the out of date term ‘British isles’ and neither do their official bodies.

    So the name has already been put to bed.

  14. I’m on board solely because the Atlantic Isles sound cool as fuck and I want to be able to introduce myself as coming from the Atlantics. Me, I’m Atlantican. Come on, that sounds deadly. Rugged as fuck sounding.

  20. Too late, I renamed them The Irish Isles a while back. It annoyed some of our neighbours a bit, but I let them know it was okay because it’s just a geographical term.

  21. It’s the Atlantic archipelago. Or Cork and its outlying territories

  24. How about The French Isles? We coordinate with Europe, and Britain gets to be all sniffy

  25. I personally like ‘North Atlantic Archipelago’

    the term is a bit more descriptive of what it actually is and in my mind is a bit more neutral and doesn’t come across as renaming something just for the sake of it.

  26. I call them the Celtic Isles personally.

    It includes everyone except the English and like, who cares about them.

  33. I’m just a random goofball, but I’d be for going classical and calling them something alba/albion related.

  36. Far Far Northern Biscay Bay Archipelago has a nice ring to it no?

  39. Canaries also are islands in the Atlantic, so is Iceland and technically Greenland

    North Atlantic archipelago is more correct and will include islands from other countries too but fair

  40. If we’re all in agreement that Great Britain isn’t all that great, I would suggest Grand Ireland- and I would think that’s probably grand.

  41. You get the sea (Irish Sea), we get the land (British Isles).

    Okay real talk, Atlantic Isles is actually smooth as fuck
