For what it's worth, I've always felt that my hometown of Trollhättan (Troll's Hat) would make a good fantasy-name. And about 30 minutes south we've got Alvhem (Elfhome), but some crazy Oxford professor's already used that I think.

There was a place called Trollhattan in Alphatia in the D&D Known World if I remember correctly.

Will the map be available for purchase as a stand-alone product, or as part of another product? Or both?
When do you estimate it will be available?
In November, it'll be available as the Inner Sea Poster Map Folio, a 68"x44" map broken into four 34"x22" sections.
In February, a 34"x22" version—that's a quarter of the size of the folio version—will be included with the Pathfinder Campaign Setting: World Guide—The Inner Sea hardcover.
(All dimensions are approximate.)

Could we pleeeease see at least one of those as an island (or even just a landmark) in the Shackles? You can't copyright a proper noun like Scum or Melee! You can't!*
I am not a lawyer and my opinion should not be taken as legal council or a guarantee that you will not be sued by LucasArts or their subsidiaries.
Otisville..its a little bitty place

LOL! Well played, Wellard. Well played.
I can't help but imagine Ned Beatty's voice saying that line again.
Isle of View ?
or even better...
Isle of Lucy ?

Heh... having just re-played Monkey Island, I was amused to re-discover that every time an island in that game is mentioned in the game play text on screen, the island name is followed by a trademark notation. That, and the game's owned by Lucasarts, a company that is VERY VERY VERY aggressive about pursuing and protecting their trademarks. So as a matter of fact, you CAN copyright things like this. Or even if you can't, Paizo's not interested in going head-to-head with Lucas to find out.
And more to the point, I'm not interested in naming an island after a comedic (if however enjoyable) game. The Shackles are SERIOUS BUSINESS!!! ;-)
In Scotland there is a genuine Isle of Ewe.Isle of View ?
or even better...
Isle of Lucy ?"These are lost drunken men who don't know where they are, but do care! And these are men who know where they are and care, but don't drink."
You have our gratitude...
Which I have driven past on a number of occassions. Isle of View is a title in the Piers Anthony Xanth series
Otisville also becomes a tribute to Otis the Ranger one of the Original Greyhawk Characters.
As for a naming contest, there simply isn't time for us to organize and conduct one before this baby has to ship. That said, we've got a LOT of names to come up with in that short time, so if there's a name you'd like to see, toss it up here now. No promises that suggestions will be used, or that they'll remain in the exact form presented.
Sooooo, did any get used? Looking over the huge (and beautiful!) map I didn't see any but I could very well have missed some.

Nope. I'm kinda paranoid about someone trying to sneak something past me.

Haha, yeah I can understand that. I'd be terrified of a trademarked or inappropriate name sneaking by.

The Island at the End of Golarion.
Every sunset an enchantment over the island, allows anyone on it's beaches to experience the terror and beauty of the Earthfall of -5293 AR. Once night falls the person is left shaken but physically unharmed. (That setting idea is a freebie!)

Gutted, just realised (looking over the map) that none were in.
Maybe my suggestions were not awesome enough but I think I proved I wasn't doing anything sneaky.
I liked the idea of having a few fan suggestions on the map. Ah well, nevermind
