New ideas for renaming Hakkaa Päälle ?

[jpellam]

With the release of the planned 13th and final core module Hakkaa Päälle starting to appear on the radar screen I was thinking that there has to be a better name other than Hakkaa Päälle .

Maybe this is a good place to ban together and convince/persuade MMP to choose another more inspiring name. I would think that there is so much potential to give this last module a cool name other than Hakkaa Päälle (cut them down).

I confess that I do not know enough about Finland during WWII (even after googling it) to come up with a better name, yet.

If you do some reading you will find that the name is a good one indeed.

Who are you Callin' a Sissi?

 

[M.Koch]

Maybe "Rebirth Of A Supernation" ?

True and I think the english translation sounds better. (CTD)

exactly why Hakkaa Päälle is not good?

It is not good because 1) it is unpronounceable, 2) it looks ugly, 3) no one outside Finland has any clue what it means.

Even something generic like "Warriors of the North" would be better.

I sorry to say that is even more lame. Hakkaa Päälle is pronounced exactly how it is spelled. Croix de Guerre is not intuitively obvious for English speakers either, but it works for a French module (and it is not pronounced exactly how it is spelled). I personally think that double vowels (especially double “a”) are cool and look really swell.

Hakkaa Päälle just is not catchy

Hakkaa Päälle is just not a catchy name IMHO.:halo:

Look who you're talking to.

I agree, though, Hakkaa Päälle is a perfect name.

Warriors of the North sucks; it sucked even worse when they titled my article in ASL Annual by that name.

Perhaps some of the Americans on the board need to be a bit more cosmopolitan in their outlook.

Does Päälle = Polly?

With the double umlaut a I'm not sure how that us pronounced.

Polly
Pay-lay
Pal-le

Better question is: will we see Hakke Paallee (or whatever) in our lifetimes?

I have been out of the loop re:ASL for several months. Is VOTGs shipping, 'cause I didn't get mine yet....

Cheers!

That is the big question and it might be years before we see it but now is a good time to start changing the name.

I feel a poll coming on...

 

[BobO]

We could as Richard Berg to name it for us.

Good grief? How do you uniglots ever manage to play Schloss Bubingen (mit umlauts) or use the Nahverteidigungswaffe?

But it is only pronounced exactly how it is spelled in Finland. Finnish is not an international language. English is. French is, too, which is why people around the world can pronounce Croix de Guerre.

I agree. I think the title is appropriate & fine as is.

People can just call it HP or something if they can't pronounce it.
