So, where are YOU from under the sea?

We've all heard of Atlantis, Atlantica, Atlantia...

What other names can you come up with for an undersea city or kingdom?

After all, we're a wide a varied race! We don't all have to come from the same one! ;)

Port Royal and South Cape May have also sunk into the sea, along with the continents of Mu and Lemuria.

Leptis Magna, Dachang Ancient Town, Kuizhou Ancient City, the Roanoke Colony, the Lost Villages in Ontario, Capel Celyn, Chryse Island, Hampton-on-the-Sea, Helike, Kitetzh, Dunwich, Verdronken Land Van Reimerswaal, Rungholt, Saeftinghe, Vineta, Sarah Ann Island, Maui Nui, and Cantre'r Gwaelod.

Also, merfolk aren't limited to sunken lands... actual undersea realms such as Ville Au Camp, Mag Mell, Ryūgū-jō, Guinee, Tir fo Thuinn.

The Rhine is supposedly home to the Rhinemaidens.

Finally, Poseidon was said to have a home in Aegae, which was coastal and apparently had to be excavated, but I'm not sure it actually sunk or was ever lost. Also, Aegir and Ran apparently lived on Læsø (called Hlésey at the time).
