From some column:
How do you name a nation? The southern part of Sudan is set to become the world’s newest country when people there vote on independence in a referendum scheduled for January. But while many of the institutions needed for a country are being put in place, there is no agreement as to what the new nation will be called.
New Sudan, South Sudan and Southern Sudan have all been mentioned. But there is a danger in associating themselves with the original Sudan, a country whose international brand has been ruined by Omar al-Bashir, the president indicted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes in Darfur.
My suggestions (because you asked): Nubia or Kush.
