hey, all. some of you may know that one aspect of my TL is that Britain is officially named Britannia (mainly because Code Geass was the main inspiration behind it all) and i decided to expand on that by giving most/all the major regions of the British Isles (and by extension any namesakes of theirs) their Roman names, so, for example, Ireland is called Hibernia, Wales is Cambria, and so on.
i'd mainly like a bit of peer review on this: does anyone think i should go further with this and (within reason) rename more British cities, etc., with their old Roman names? depending on how similar some of these are to the OTL names, i may keep them as their OTL names regardless (one example being that London stays London rather than being renamed Londinium, partly because general linguistic evolution may simplify it regardless)
as an aside, another possibility ITTL is that London/Londinium is not called that at all, but rather goes by "New Troy" (as in relating to the legend of Brutus of Troy, who supposedly founded a city with that name in the rough area of what is now London). thoughts?
