ASp:

Reminds me of the story of the reporter who walked up to Cal Coolidge one day and said to the taciturn President, "Mr. President, I bet my colleague over there $10 I could get you to say three words."

Cal responded, "You lose."

The fact of the matter is that when they came up with the name of Arcadia they came to me and asked me to beta test the name to see if I could find anything scatalogical in it. I couldn't.

Now, if you believe the prior paragraph, I'd like to talk to you about some land in Arkansas.

I suppose it depends upon your concept of "rude," but the first thing which came to mind for me was Arcania, followed by Cicadia.
