Disputatio:Lexingtonia Saeptum (Terra Mariae)

De nomine

There's another Park in Maryland called Lexington Park, which is not a Park attached to anything, but a Park named after the USS Lexington, which in turn is named after Lexington, Mass (Lexingtonia). Would this be Lexingtonia Saeptum or Saeptum Lexingtoniae? Saeptum Lexingtoniense? --Robert.Baruch 13:56, 3 Maii 2011 (UTC)

None of the above, because, according to Wikipedia, the entity in Maryland is not a park named "Lexington": it's a community (a "census-designated place") named "Lexington Park." Your suggestions, however, might work for the baseball stadium once known as Lexington Park, though campus or stadium could be a better gloss of that kind of park.

Hmm, well, Lexington Park started out as a federal housing project during World War II, for civilian employees of the nearby Patuxent Naval Air Station. The land was bought and the houses built by the Federal Government using funds provided by the 1940 Lanham Act (not the 1946 trademark one, but the 1940 emergency housing one). So based on this, it seems reasonable that the Park in Lexington Park is a park in the sense of "an area of land set aside", just as the park in trailer park means "an area of land set aside for trailers"? And so, saeptum? --Robert.Baruch 16:09, 3 Maii 2011 (UTC)
