Alternate Names for the Americas

Let's say that the Americas were called something else. What other names could there be? Obviously a lot of explorer names with -ia placed on the end, but let's see what else we can come up with. I'll kick it off.

Amazonia (for South America)

Atlantis (plausible, IMO. Kinda surprised they weren't called that TBH)

Avalon (if the English are feeling especially romantic)

Columbia/The Columbias (duh)

The Hesperides/North Hesperia, South Hesperia

Terra Nova (if the Latin-lovers are feeling boring)

Occidentia/Occidena (if the Latin-lovers are feeling even more boring)

Vespucia (or, if we're really unlucky) Vespucciland :p

Vinland (if the Vikings stick around)

Xiguo (if the Chinese settle it)

I like Avalon and Occidentia but how about the Portuguese equivalent of Henrysland, after King Henry the Navigator

Terra do Henrique? [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Henricão? Henricana?

I should also point out that there is a Thread on Alternate Names already on here. I'd link it but having serverlag at the mo.
