Names for a British-American Reunification Nation

How about the Oceanic Federation/Confederation

This would keep Australia and New Zealand happy as any other name assumes that only nation who speak a form of English or are around the Atlantic Ocean would be allowed to join
 
the United Commonwealth would be a cool choice if we still had the empire with us.

Also with the political systems combining we would probably have the President being the commander in chief with the queen being the head of state, even if it was only a symbolic role. (Mainly for the tourists.) The British Prime minister probably wouldn't exist, as the title of Prime minister was only made so that the King or queen could speak to someone who represented the whole of parliment. When the Prime minister was made he was first amoungst equals but he didn't have any more influence over the rest of parliment until later.

That's not true. Parliament had more power than the monarch before the office of Prime Minister was created, and it was only created because of a historical accident - that all the ministers in a government except one (Robert Walpole) were implicated in the South Seas trading scandal, and he took on so many ministerial posts for himself that he became called 'the King's first minister', which was originally an insulting epithet.
 
Put here since it would likely require a POD pre-1900.

So what would be some possible names for a nation formed by a peaceful, willing union of Britain and America? Britain wouldn't be joining the US as some number of states, and the republican US likely wouldn't put itself under a queen, but what kind of compromise govt. could form, and what would be it's name?

Personally, Atlantic Federation sounds like a good start to me, but not sure how it could exactly work.
Perhaps a Supra-national Senate, or Excutive Joint Consul consisiting of directly appointed representives from each of the US States, British Kingdoms, and Invidual colonies centered in Bermuda. (Chose randomly)

In this you have two Consuls, one representing the UK, and the other the Federal goverment, each with veto powers(but can be overcome with a 3/4ths vote). Under them you have the Chairman, whose postion is elected among members of the council.
 
What the the British Empire? You said you didn't want the Queen ruling in America, but what about the Empress? Queen-Empress Elizabeth, Queen of the United Kingdom, Empress of America?

I'm going to guess that with America in some kind of political-military-economic alliance/ association with the British, then the British might start waving the anti-communist flag once the colonial independence movement starts. American troops battling Communist rebels in Kenya, Rhodesia, and South Africa anyone? That is (cooly) frightening thought.

Sort of like the challenge posed in this thread, I'm going to suggest something only doable through ASB intervention: Victoria marries Joshua Norton, after recognizing is self-granted titles "Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico", then, in the midst of some crisis, the British House of Norton does come to control the United States, albeit as a dominion. As such, the Emperor/Emperess of India will also be that of the U.S.
