Brimaquonx

“Brimaquonx” (Brooklyn + Staten Island + Manhattan + Queens + Bronx) was once suggested as the name for New York City. The proposed name is known largely through a mention in Mario Pei’s The Story of Language (1952).

My personal favorite portmanteau was “Brimaquonx” to describe New York City, something that Mario Pei repeated in his book The Story of English. The reason for a deletion is that for a topic to get a “page” of its own, it has to pass a test of notability, which is usually defined in terms of coverage by reliable and verifiable sources that can be cited in order to respond to the skeptical reader.
