Any suggestions for names for a Newfoundland/Labrador and Maritime Union?
Some ideas of mine: Atlantica, Atlantic Union, Albion, Orientania.

How about its' old name Vinland?
If this is to come into being during the reign of Victoria and 'Victoriania' is considered somewhat clumsy there is always the alternative of using Victoria's real first name, Alexandrina (she was called 'Drina' within the royal family).
The Dominion of Alexandrina?
Again, I like Avalon - that was the original provincial name of Newfoundland when Lord Baltimore failed to colonize it, and 'Acadia' would be seen as probably too much a sop to the Francophone Acadiens, whom the Atlantic Canadians might not want to get funny ideas on nationalism and thus deal with a mini-version of OTL Canada's Franco-Anglophone divide.
The Republic of St. Lawrence sounds rather nice. After all, this country would essentially ring the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Acadia again is the only name that really identifies the entirety of the maritime provinces.
and since any such union would start there it is the most logical single identifier.
