Yeah, it's quite silly to think of this tasteful bird when you're talking about Turkey

when i saw turkey (the bird) on display at counters... it reminds me that there's a country call Turkey exists! On the other hand... Turkia sounds not bad either. But before any new names confirm, let it be great name that reflects the identity of it's people and culture.

yeah maybe TURKIA does sound more better, but surely when we are speaking english the word TURKEY should be used (even if it does have another meaning),
when we are speaking turkish, TÜRKİYE should be used...

doesnt that make sense??

Well, I think if you are Turkish and have no problem with the word Turkey then you can just continue using it. I have a problem with that word and I'm not using it. I don't find it funny that a silly animal and my country have the same name. Sooner or later we will get that word officially changed.
