Names in example data #57

Closed jgabry closed 3 years ago

jgabry commented 3 years ago

When working on #56 (which is now closed!) I was looking at the new example data sets that @Dewi-Amaliah made and they're great! My only suggestion is that we consider not using the name Neverland because it has many different associations already and some are quite negative (it could just be in American popular culture, I'm not sure). What do you think about changing the name?

Hi Jonah,

Yeah, I agree. Actually I have no idea of the name of the country when I made that, so I just put a random name. Do you have any naming suggestions?

lauken13 commented 3 years ago

It's not as strong, but the connotations do exist!

What about other names drawn from literature?

Discworld comes to mind as fairly neutral Narnia (potentially strong religious connotations) Wonderland (Alice in Wonderland was crazy, but not for any particular connotation) Land of Oz (from the Wizard of Oz) Middle Earth (LOTRs)

lauken13 commented 3 years ago

Discworld has pretty strong socio-political themes (it is, after all allegorical), so we could mirror these for the other variable names.

It occurs to me that maybe we're not even allowed to use these names from books and movies legally (I really don't know). I suggest we make up a name.

"Mars", "ImagineLand", "SomeLand", "Red Planet Party" (RPP), "Solar System Party" (SSP), "Good Party", "Big Party"

Anyone have any further thoughts on this? How about we just go with Mitzi's suggestion of "Mars" as the place (instead of Neverland) and then "Red Planet Party" (RPP) instead of "Neverland Labor Party"? I'm fine with other options too, I'm just proposing this to try to get the ball rolling on picking one.
