Turkey? No, but seriously, aside from my own country which sounds sweet for other reasons, I like the name Canada or the Pacific Is country of Tuvalu pronounced Too-va-loo

Aruba is a pretty name, but it is not a country.

Why is it a stupid question? Don't you think some names are more beautiful than others? There's nothing stupid at all about this question.

Is Coast of Ivory (Cote d'Ivoire) a country? It hardly seems possible. I imagine quiet ships approaching it on a sapphire-hemmed sea, an ancient and forgotten land out of a myth full of beauty, lore, treasure, secrets and mischief *smile*

Terrific and original question. I love it when a survey's so good, it makes me pause and smile with anticipating how much pleasure I'll get out of delving into my mind, soul and psyche to answer it even before I click on the link.

I remembered another one - Alba. That's how you say Scotland in Gaelic. It sound really nice... albe is also 'dawn' in Italian, I daresay.

Yes,it is!!
In Virgil Eneid Italy is called Esperia,which means the Land of the West,because compared to Greece it was! That's a beautiful name too!

Ivory Coast (Cote d'Ivoire in French) is indeed a country. It's on the west coast of Africa, on the bottom of the bulge.

Bene, gracie.

I was listening to Andrea Bocelli the other night, and I found out that I understand most of the things he's saying in Italian. What part of Italy do you live in?

"Bhutan" has a nice ring to it. Sounds like some kind of exotic kingdom nestled in the Himilayas...which it is...

Iraq. No wait, that can't be right.

How about "Prussia"? I am not sure if there is such a thing, maybe there was, but it sure sounds enchanting. Or something like that.

Cote d'Ivorie recently turned into a huge war zone and the French and US governments are sending special forces troops in to rescue their citizens. I guess there's a bunch of American children at a school there for some reason. As in many African nations, the beautiful and tranquil name belies the reality of life in the country.
