sheesh, when you came up with that I thought you too were having fun with strange names for our islands - I added a smidgion of babelfished german and an ambiguous quote from smfforfree rules in reply.

Fun!!! There is good historical reasons for calling the North Island Aotearoa. As for the South Island - South Islanders are the true New Zealanders so why shouldn't they be called the Tangata Whenua of the nation. Why should that honour just be bestowed on people from Auckland.
