Great Lakes

That's a good idea. I'd personally rather have us choose the name of one of the lakes. Perhaps the largest one - Superior.

I don't know how it would go over to have ourselves called the "Superior Region"

It's okay to have regional pride

How about "New England and Rust"

I like Huron.

"Saint Lawrence" or "St. Lawrence" is another suggestion.

Actually, on the topic of lakes, I would also support the name Erie.

Not all the states in the region are near the Great Lakes, so why should the name of one of the Great Lakes be considered as a serious suggestion?

If you mean Erie, it's not just one of the lakes.  It's also the name of a little canal that connected New York City to the Midwest.  Yes via the Great Lakes.  The canal opened the Midwest to settlers from New York and New England, launched the consumer economy, and made New York City into the commercial capital of the entire country.  I'd even say the canal was important to New Jersey.  Does that leave anyone out?
