What name would you give to each region of England, instead of the generic directional names we have now (South East, South West etc)?

  1. Rodney, Del Boy, John, Paul, George, Ringo, Derek, Clive, Sir David and Borat

  2. Northeast – Forestlands

    Northwest – Lakelands

    Yorkshire and The Humber – Moorlands

    West Midlands – Westhills

    East Midlands – Lowlands

    East of England – Flatlands

    London – Capital

    South East – Southills

    South West – West Coast

  3. Something based on history like:

    North East- Bernicia.

    North West- Rheged.

    West Midlands- West Mercia.

    East Midlands- East Mercia or The Boroughs.

    South West- Wessex.

    East of England- East Anglia.

    It’s not perfect but there’s at least some historical basis for the names.

  4. North west – Greater Lancashire
    North east – Northumbria
    Idgaf about the southern regions

  5. I don’t mind who calls which what, but no one tell anyone that Lincolnshire is the new Cornwall/Devon….

    So beautiful and amazing.

    (It’s in the East Midlands bit but over to the right.)

    I think ‘Mercia’ would be a good name for it because also Shropshire is similarly fantastic and no one knows it’s there.

    So join up all the midlands and call it ‘Mercia’.

  6. I’d label each region like it like was a pie; the South is the ‘soggy bottom’, the Midlands is the ‘filling in the middle’ and the North is the ‘upper crust’. London is ‘that unexpected bit of gristle’.

  7. North East- Mini Scottish Lowlands

    North West- Ireland Central

    Yorkshire- Wannabe Vikingland

    East of England- West Holland

    South East- North Fr*nce

    South West- North Brittany

    Midlands- The Official Demilitarised Zone of England

  8. I’m shocked this hasn’t appeared yet, but West Country instead of the South West.

  9. What’s the source of this map? Would like to read all the names properly

  10. North East- The North.

    Yorkshire- Riverlands.

    North West- The Vale.

    London- Crownlands.

    South East- Lannister.

    Midlands- The Reach.

    East Anglia- Stormlands.

    South West- Dorne.

  11. I’d leave the regions as they are, however the ex metropolitan county and Birmingham/Solihull/Black Country conurbation of West Midlands could definitely do with new names…

  12. Southwest England – Wessex (and Cornwall)

    Southeast England – Kent and Sussex

    East of England – East Anglia

    East Midlands – East Mercia

    West Midlands – West Mercia

    Yorkshire and the Humber – (no need for change)

    Northwest England – Rheged

    Northeast England – Northumbria

    Greater London – (same)

    EDIT: I thought Essex was in the southeast for some reason. Having a weird morning (Japan time)

  13. North West: Rheged and Mersey

    North East + Yorkshire: Northumbria

    West Midlands: West Mercia

    East Midlands: East Mercia

    East of England: East Anglia

    London: London

    South East: Weald

    South West: Wessex and Cornwall

    I’d create a new region called Anglia-Thames out of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, and Northamptonshire

  14. NW- Beatland

    NE- New Jordan

    Yorkshire- Puddingistan

    WM- Brummingham

    EM- Robinhood SSR

    SW- Budget Spain

    SE- Poshia

    EOE- Kermit’s house

    London- favourite child

  15. The Republic of Scotland to the current border, The Republic of Northumberland, down to the majority of people who want to join the free people of the North and then whatever the South wants to do with their idiot King, they can be called that. The Republic of Ireland will obviously be the whole of Ireland.

  16. The West Country, Northumberland, East Anglia and Essex, Big Lancashire, Yorkshire and some random inbreds, Mercia, Lesser Mercia, The Leech, and Posh Twats

    You know which one each of these is immediately

  17. Freezing, Fucking freezing, Siberia roleplay, absolutely wankered

  18. I can barely distinguish East Midlands from South England
