Shangri-La Divers????

[deep flight]

We're considering creating a subforum for our Pinoy and Pinay friends who can converse in Tagalog.

We don't want to use the exact same name as another forum, and besides, referring to our Pilipino friends as "pasaways" which I think means lazy is not how we want to honor our friends.

Anyone have some suggestions on a native speaking forum name that is fun, young, and reflects positively?

The issues with called the forum Philippine Island Divers is that is just a geographical description. Some word other then the already used "Paradise" that would reflect on just what a fantastic place to visit, make great friends and do some incredable diving, would be more fitting. Thoughts?

How about "PARAISO DIVERS"? it's the local term for paradise. it's filipino in every sense. . .this way you don't have to attach philippine to the paraiso. . .just say paraiso and it speaks filipino all the way. we can even call it filipino paraiso divers if you want double redundancy

Well, the issue with that is English speakers might not make the connection with paraiso meaning paradise. As to Taglog speakers, we of course created the Tropang Maninisid Forum.

I figured paraiso meant paradise right away, so it might be a good idea. I think we need more input from others....

Keep in mind that the purpose of this particular forum is to expose those who have not been diving in the Philippines to just how world class and a better value the Philippines are, and perhaps Paradise (compared to Paraiso) or Shangri-La are better recognized English words for, well, paradise!

Thoughts?
