how about naming after shape or geographical features
? only problem i can see is that africa, n america and
s america could all be 'triangleland, eurasia would be
'bigamorphousblobland' and australia would be
land-with-two-horns ( or, if we go with the oceania
division, lots-of-little-islands-land )

as for antartica . . . i suggest 'big cold lump'
