How's Kevin...The reason for my suggestion of 'The Celtic Isles' as something more precise than 'The British Isles', was two-fold.
Firstly, how less intimidating the former looks and sounds (remember the soft 'C' - we're not talking about football teams, here); to name a group of islands after its' first main settlers, than after an entity which represents a foreign policy that was territorial and expansionist.
Whether one is proud of one's Norse and Saxon blood (The Vikings were descendants of the Celts), is neither here nor there; one should be proud of one's lineage, either way.
Secondly, it is more precise.
