Name change for the DR?
Jose Antonio Martinez Rojas writes in the Saturday issue of Hoy newspaper that Dominicans should
consider a name change for the country. He comments on the frequent confusion with the small
English-speaking island of Dominica. He says that the leading Spanish language dictionary considers a
?Dominican? a person from Santo Domingo. He says there is no big deal about a name change for a
country, mentioning: Ceylon-Sri Lanka, Siam-Thailand, and Rhodesia-Zimbabwe, among others. He
feels the country should hold a public contest to choose a new name, followed by a plebiscite.
