    Default The Balkans or Haemus?

    In ancient Greek, the Balkan Peninsula was thus known as the "Peninsula of Haemus" (Χερσόνησος τοῦ Αἵμου), a name which retains some currency in modern Greek.
    "Balkan" comes from a Turkish word meaning "a chain of wooded mountains".
    Which name do you think is better?

    Balkan sounds bad ass ...

    on the other hand Haemus sounds similar to

    --- a puree ,a kind of soft food ,mashed chickpeas

    really?
