Hello! I am new here, and likely so are you.

It’s great to see local communities online - and a great time to shape how we’d like to go on.

I’d love to hear people’s thoughts on a display name change from Wellington to The Whanaganui-a-Tara.

This would not change the URL, or stop people finding us by searching Wellington.

Tell us what you think… Go!

    This is a great idea. It absolutely triggers the people we don’t want in here. :)

    Wellington Region/Greater Wellington would be more inclusive. Which according to Wikipedia would be: Te Upoko o te Ika a Māui.

    I’m pretty happy either way though, I can’t imagine many would have a problem with having both English and Reo Maori. Its downright standard these days. I enjoy having it. I’m nowhere near fluent though.
