What would you name your own nudist space?
In this #UndressedThread, let’s get creative—if you could open your own naturist space, what would you call it?
Naturist spaces have long embraced names that evoke a sense of freedom, nature, and community. Many early nudist camps in the U.S. borrowed from paradise-like imagery, with names like Eden, Elysia, or Olympus—places tied to mythological perfection, utopia, and timeless beauty. Other spaces have leaned into their natural surroundings, choosing names like Oak Haven, The Woods, Sun Ridge, Willow Glen, or Mountain Air. These names connect to the peaceful, grounding experience of being nude in nature. Some have taken a more playful or philosophical approach, using euphemisms that hint at body freedom without saying it outright—like Suntanners, Gymnosophists, Skyclad, or The Freebody Society. And of course, most naturist places include a descriptor like Club, Camp, Resort, Ranch, or Sanctuary, shaping how people perceive the space before they even visit.
But if you had the chance to create your own, what would it be? Would you draw from tradition or invent something entirely new?

Rudolph Johnson, my 2x great grandfather, when he first established his club with a small group of local nudists in central Washington state in the early 1940s, named their club after the three locations where the group would regularly meet: The first was his own rural land on which he'd built a great big cobblestone house; the second was a property on the water along Oyster Bay in the Puget Sound; the third was a rural turkey farm. And so they became the "Cobblestone Oyster Gobblers". It was an acknowledged mouthful, and while it was eccentric enough to attract attention, it didn't quite say what the group was, which must have posed a problem for attracting new members. Within their first year, the latter two locations became less and less viable for meetups, and the group tended to favor Rudolph's remote and very private property, and so the name was shortened fittingly to the "Cobblestone Suntanners". That name, still a bit of a mouthful, stuck.
I recently saw a water treatment plant that's been disused for several years, very overgrown, as you can imagine the water tanks are rather green, but it had a couple of buildings on site and was on sale for £35,000.
My first thought was to get other naturists to come in on it, and until it was all cleaned up I'd call it "Grim, and bare it."
