Very interesting discussion on farcebook

I agree, it is beginning to happen, and I find myself using both names, or one or the other, and favouring Aotearoa more and more often. New Zealand is a Dutch name and Dutch is not one of our official languages; the only practical advantage is that "nz" is a quick way of identifying local products on the internet. This is not fool proof however. and certainly inessential.
