I would like to propose (naturally after Zach and Anayahland weigh in) the Ardian Gulf, or Gulf of Ardia, to define the body of water below:

I would also like to renew discussion on renaming the Matilda Canals the Matilda Channels, as I don't seem to recall the results of the previous discussion.

Not my area for Ardian Gulf, but Matilda Straights or Straights of Matilda would make most sense there.

At least in Zachachevania it's called the People's Gulf, but i personally have no problem w/ the Ardian gulf. Anyah's been inactive a while. Maybe we should fix the spelling of "Ardean" peninsula. Also, could we maybe name the lake north of Zachachevania lake Zachar?

Well I'm all for this and can update the map accordingly, I will note that Ardean peninsula has been the spelling since before I started doing the map, but I take the point that it should probably read Ardian peninsula.

on the subject of the Matilda Canals- first I'd like to know why they were called that in the first place since it just seems a very random name when compared with all the others. As for changing Canals yes I agree that Canals isn't appropriate 'Matilda Straits' or 'Matilda Channels' would fit better.

And Dave I'm more likely to rename them the 'Anselmo Straits' ;)

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be "Andean Peninsula". If I remember correctly, it was one of the first three names ever applied to the map (the other two are Ardia and the Matilda Canals).

Tytor is correct on the peninsula, and there is already an Ardian Peninsula. The Matilda Canals were named as such by Bechstein who, if I remember correctly intended to impose fees upon vessels which ussd them.

That said it looks like the Ardian Gulf is a go. ^^

Thanks for pointing that out- I was sure I'd typed Ardian peninsula at some point now I know where.
