hey, all. it's been a while since i made a thread, hasn't it?
i've never really been satisfied with using alot of the old Roman names for parts of the British Isles in my ASB ATL like i'd originally planned and my intention now is that, for aesthetic reasons, the only one i'll be keeping from that part of development is "Britannia". i've even already figured that Scotland will be called "Albany" ITTL based on a historical name for the country. getting more to the point, though, i've been trying to figure out what the alternate name of Ireland could be for a while, and just last night (posting the morning after because no one seems to see any of my threads when i post around midnight

) i think i found a good one: Erinholm, from a historical/romantic name for Ireland ("Erin" or "Erin's Isle") and an attested Old English word for "isle" (part of the POD behind this part of the TL in particular is that the Norman Conquest didn't succeed and, unprofessional as it might be, i want to demonstrate this by altering TTL's English language particularly with regards to geographic names). i mainly just wanted to avoid calling the country "Ireland" or "Eireland" since i kinda doubt its name would evolve that way.
obviously, though, i want to get some peer review and see what people think about this possible alternate name, and if not "Erinholm" then i'd love to hear some suggestions for what Ireland
could be called ITTL. keep in mind that, while i specifically brought up the Norman Conquest as the "localized POD" regarding the alternate British history, there are actually going to be PODs from earlier in history (though i haven't quite determined exactly what those are yet--i'm still looking into possibilities regarding Rome and the like). as i've said many times in the past, i'm writing the TL for the narrative that goes with it instead of absolute plausibility, but i'm still trying to be as plausible with it as i can considering that.
so, thoughts?
