    Default Change the name of Romania

    Is it possible to change the name of Romania? So people don't think that Romania is the gypsy land.

    Gypsy aka The Romani (also Romany, Romanies, Romanis, Roma or Roms; exonym: Gypsy; Romani: Romane or Rromane, depending on the dialect)

    wtf?? romani (români) are also the romanians and when you type "romani" google images shows you only gypsy people.
    you can type the romanian version "români" and still get gypsy images.

    Gypsies are stealing our country and our name while romanian people are busy listening to their gypsy crappy music(manele) and watching crappy gypsy tv shows.

    Yes, gypsy music and movies are liked here. Gypsies are tolerated, they don't pay taxes, they receive house for free, they have special places in college and university. Gypsies rule here and politicians are gypsies.

    We could take the name Vlachia (Wallachia), but I think I had enough of the Wallachian culture shoved down my throat, thank you very much. Not to mention the fact that the term is an exonym.

    Then there's Dacia, but we're hardly Dacians, are we?

    No, I think our present name România (Romania), despite the fact that it exaggerates our links with the Romans, is the best since it's derived from an endonym. But I guess we could switch it to Rumânia (Rumania) derived from the original name of the Romanians, rumâni.

    But the real problem comes from the gypsies not from us, its not us that have to change our name, it's them that they have find another name to be known by, if they don't like the traditional ones used: cigányok, cikáni, gitanos, gypsies, sigřjner, țigani, Zigeuner, zíngaros etc.

    Why not just rename the entire country Transylvaaania?

    This could be the new flag:

    Seriously though, most people are aware that the name Romania was used the ancient Romans already. After all, most people don't think that the capital of Italy is inhabited exclusively by Gypsies.

    Indeed and I can't stand it, I'd rather change the name of gypsies, for example Filthoids or Homo Subhumanos.

    I like Transilvania name but it's only region of Romania.

    I know... but take a look at What comes to mind when you think of these European countries?
    Almost everyone wrote: Romania: Gypsy

    and Romania has the largest population of gypsies. Maybe I'm paranoid but I still think that gypsies want to steal our country.
