I agree that we need a name change. Because the name Dominican Republic is only a religious adjective and a governmental form put together and it does not sound commercial nor authentic. I misses something native in it.

I would suggest to take the name of one of the cities or one of the regions and name the country like that. Please take the most markettable name and the one that sounds best internationally:

Options:
-Republic of Puerto Plata;
-Republic of Punta Cana;
-Republic of Constanza;
-Republic of Santo Domingo ;
-Republic of Baní;
-Republic of Pedernales;
-Republic of Samaná.

Neighbouring countries have very nice own names, we need one too. Check this out:

-Cuba
-Jamaica
-Puerto Rico
-Haiti
-Panamá
-Costa Rica
-Mexico
-Venezuela
-Peru
-Brazil

Dominicans: Which sounds better?

Sudaca previously said:


Why not call it Boschia? Sorry but Boschland sounds too Scandinavian for a Latin American country. One the other hand, Dominicans might feel more connected to their beloved Viking ancestors

IS the government actually thinking about changing the name or is this just a proposal made by some random poster on Dominicantoday?

aahh, well Duartia seems like a good name.

But here's some other good names:
"West Puerto Rico" (a la North Ireland)
"Cuba Without The Commies"
"Mulatoland"
"Half-breedia"
"Spanish Congo"

Dominicans descend from the congolese, so do cubans and puerto ricans descend from the yoruba
