As it stands, most US regions have kinda boring names; most of them have names based on cardinal directions (the South, the Northeast, the West Coast, the Midwest, etc) The only region with a different name is New England. So I was wondering what could be some potential alternative regional names-and this might be contingent on whether a state takes that name. So if Oregon has a different name, perhaps the West Coast would get called Oregon. Or if Louisiana keeps the Orleans name, maybe the former Louisiana Purchase would get that name. Maybe if Ohio winds up with a different name, perhaps the Lower Midwest would get called Ohio instead? Also, if you have multiple states with a certain name, the whole region gets the name. So if Georgia has a different name, perhaps a variant on the Carolina, all of the Deep South would get stuck with the name the Carolinas. Do you guys have any other possible alternate US region names?
