So what's your favorite parent civ name you've gotten in a fort?

So far mine is "The Volcanoes of Amazing"

Especially since when I checked the Legends entry on them their capital was in a tundra

[King DZA]

I've only ever genned one world, as I like the idea of building up history. I've also only ever been a part of one civ, since I have yet to succeed in becoming it's capital. It's name? The Tongs-Roughness of Entangling.

Sadly, I don't think it can get much lamer than that...

[Ultimuh]

Oh but it can.
Trust me on this.

[Fishbulb]

Quite so. My fort's home civilization is named "The Quakes of Spray."

I don't even know what that means, but I do not like the mental images it inspires.

[Lordraymond]

For contradictory stuff, I once had either a civ or a FB with the title "The Tin Bronze of Gold"

Wut

[Newbunkle]

The best one I've had was The Wheel of Thrones. This came right after I finished watching GoT on TV so it made me chuffed.

My current one is the The Stake of Ownership, which while bland at least makes some kind of sense. I'm only mentioning it because my random group name in this map is The Rim of Delight.

[Mrhappyface]

The Savage Rapes. 

[Lord Allagon]

A dwarven civ called "The Standard of Gods".

[Ultimuh]

A dwarven civ called "The Standard of Gods".

Considering how nobles usually act in a regular DF fortress, it's quite amusingly fitting name.
I imagine their gods are just like the olympians (greek myth), mixed with the Aesir (Viking myth).

[Mitchewawa]

The Ravaged Anus
...*shudder*

[Doughnut189]

An Elven civilization named "Crabe pour Toujours"
or
"Crab for Always"

[Necro910]

I do believe I've had a goblin civ named the bronze anus.

Ugh.

[Mrhappyface]

The Ravaged Anus
...*shudder*

I guess my civ is hostile to yours?

[SixOfSpades]

What I hate is when you get a civilization with a really impressive, dwarfy name (The Iron of Coalitions? Sweet!) that you can't be from because it forces you to embark with a steel anvil, so you're stuck with something ho-hum like The Past Lenses, or even stupid like The Bodice of Lobsters.

Honorable Mention: In my current world, the polar ocean is called The Sea of Cremation. Um, say what?

Obviously the humans inhabiting it are Vikings. Make peace with them, and only sell mead, and sell much mead indeed!
