Suggested name change[edit]

Suggested change of name to Royal and vice-regal placenames in British Columbia; or at least include "and vice-regal" in the current name. See Homathko Icefield re Elizabethan-related names in that area, and also note in BCGNIS Coburg Peninsula, Albert Head, Saxe Point etc...Skookum1 (talk) 18:59, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I'd thought about having this page deleted or, at least redirect to Royal eponyms in Canada; I'd forgotten about this article, however, until your comment here showed up on my watchlist. Do you think there are other uses for this page now that the other one exists? --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 19:49, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, well looking at your Eponyms page there are reasons for a separate list; one is the density of names in BC because of all the points, islands, mountains etc but maybe a BC list could also go by region/grouping; yours are by individual and there are names with royal association, such as the cluster of Elizabethan-era names around Mount Queen Bess (including Oriana Peak NB but that's royal as opposed to royal-association like Raleigh and Grenville......and Armada and Galleon...) and the Homathko Icefield and another group of Victorian-era names between West Van and Brittania Beach, and other clusters on Vancouver Island; so a by-region listing might work well......(note {{GeoGroupTemplate}} and its "section=" switch which I've used on List of crossings of the Fraser River).Skookum1 (talk) 20:31, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also in terms of general nobility as on your Eponyms page, it's worth noting that some saints' names may be that of royalty, e.g. St. Leon (wouldn't know for sure), either as popes from a noble/royal family or as kings who were sainted. On a touchy side-topic, Maquinna and Wickanninish and others were known as "kings" in the early days, and their houses/lineage are also royalty, in local cultural/historical terms.Skookum1 (talk) 20:34, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, there are lots of vice-regal placenames and names with that association in BC.....Skookum1 (talk) 20:44, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
