There are many different pronunciations for the name of the new region floating around… -Pokk-ven -Poch-ven (like in German ‘bach’) -Potch-ven But I guess we have an official source for the correct pronunciation, this CCP video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygydAY22RYE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygydAY22RYE) (check at 2:14) So if it’s pronounced ‘Posh-vahn’, why write it ‘Pochven’? Is it a word from a real language? ---

Yes, like the filaments. Or the shine of the stars. It’s clearly symbolizing a Vagina, which makes sense. … This word really has a great melody to it. Vagina Vagina Vagina. ---

This reminds me of way-back-when MadTV released a skit pondering “what would happen if the daughterless engineers at Apple were to release yet another i-product called an iPad?” [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/3X/d/3/d35739fa07f705514148c15fba557a835ce34c47.jpeg "MadTV - iPad") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTzhXMbOWHE) 3 years later, Apple released the iPad. They could have called it an iTab (short for “tablet”), but nope! And now here we are… where were all the women at CCP when they named the region “vagina” and made the connections look like a vagina? Damn it, Aurora! Why didn’t you stop them!!? This is blasphemy… this is madness!!! They could have made it look like the Tri-Force instead ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/3X/d/e/de16515d9653f5df029ef5aaa52170e6703e70ff.png) ---

Lady Garden would probably be the English equivalent in terms of the source meaning, it’s older slang but James May from TopGear is probably responsible for bringing it back. ---
