I wonder what will be the name of the new state? Simply South-Sudan? It would sound too formal and simple. Or maybe it will receive a more unique name? I don't have the problem with the 'Sudan' part of the name, but 'South-Sudan' sounds too plain. Giving a unique name to it would be great. Or maybe as in case of Congo, there will be two Sudans? :)

It's going to be called South Sudan. See the discussion at the bottom of this page:
