"Mr O'Regan asked the premier if the government are in favour of changing the present inappropriate name of the colony for the more suitable one of 'M├Д┬Бoriland'.
"[Premier Richard Seddon] thought, for weal or woe, we had better stick to the name of New Zealand, and he was not inclined to change the name."
M├Д┬Бoriland. If you used that term today, nobody would know what you were talking about (unless they were a film buff, in which case they might think you were talking about the M├Д┬Бoriland Film Festival).
But if you jumped in a time machine and headed back to the 19th or early 20th century, everybody would know that M├Д┬Бoriland meant New Zealand.
