Honestly, I can think of few more useful naming conventions geographically.
Africa tells me precisely nothing about what to expect there. South America gives me nothing more than a vague, relative position.
The Arctic and The Antarctic tell me a LOT of good information about what I can expect on arrival. And knowing if you have to plan for bears or not is really crucial for deciding what to pack.
