To my knowledge (that is, a couple YouTube videos on the topic, this could be outdated/false information), there are some people who aren’t happy that the U.S. names itself after the continent of America (implying that they have a right to all of America, manifest destiny to the max). Whether that is true or not, naming stuff is always fun, so what is a good name that is representative of what the U.S. is?
My personal suggestions:
- The Liberty States
- since Argentina is the only country named after an element (silver), why not another? Perhaps the U.S. could be named after gold, after the Gold Rush which I think was a big thing? That or an element that can be red, white, and blue. Speaking of…
- The Republic of Red, White, and Blue
Please assume that stale carrot man isn’t in office and that the U.S. is currently being a reasonable and humane country that actually stands for democracy, liberty, and freedom.
It kind of bothers me that it’s called America in shorthand when the entire 2-continents are ALSO called America.
I like the names that people have for smaller sections of it, e.g Arcadia which i think means Washington and Oregon state? And New England. I guess nobody wants their country to be called ‘new oldcountry,’ though 😝
It is not called “America”, this is just what USians like everyone to call it.

I don’t give a flying fuck what USians want to be called.
It is like one country claimed name “Earth” and insisted on them to be called Earthlings. America is a continent and people from Canada or Mexico are as American as people from USA., although I would understand they may not necessarily want to be associated with this name at present.
