Sexland, a Saxon England?

[Uruk]

Why not call all of it Western saxony (wessex) or New Saxony?

F the Saxons. Why can't the Jutes get some love?

Because they where by far the smallest migrating group and they already have a place named after them. So do the Saxons, I think the Angles deserve the place they get.

Why not call all of it Western saxony (wessex) or New Saxony?

Because Wessex would be confusing to add considering it was a region inside of England, as well as there were other places called Essex, Sussex, and Middlesex which denote East West and South, it would add confusion

Kinda pisses me off that there were mutliple Germanic people migrated in England, so making a name that would unite all of their identit into one region is very irritating and tricky

The best option is that we prevent Cnuts Invasion or we keep England balkanized, sooner or later, the Saxons might denote there region which would be most likely be Middle and Southeast England as Saxland

Sooner or later the Angles and Saxons will conquer each other into one nation, which would then combine England and Saxland, the best name I can think right now is Anglo-Saxony, which I do sort of like, but it sounds very stupid

Or just Angsaxony. If England winds up Sexland, than what we call having sex simply gets referred to by the old name of rooting.

AS LSCatilina and others have stated the trick is to keep the Angles and Saxons as exclusive of each other as possible.
If we shore up the central Britons a tad and slow the rise of Wessex/Gewisse and Mercia/MiddleAngles this could help keeping them distinct enough to warrant later consolidation into separate Anglia and Saxonia.
The Saxons in Britain will still need to be distinguished from those in the Continent so as previously stated something like Britanni Saxones (Brett Saexe -> Bressex), Albi Saxones (Albisex), or even Juti Saxones (Jussex).
