And the recent arrival of the Bulgaro-Slavs (time line wise) means they should inherit the ethnic name simply because they live in the geographic region? Macedonia is a Greek origin tribe and tribal name. The concern for "ethnic purity" was never an ancient Greek concern nor a modern Greek one (Athens for example being a self acknowledge hybrid state whose origins were of aboriginal non-Greeks and Greeks).

Also, if you want irony - it was the longing of ancient Macedonians to be considered part of the Greeek world while shunned by Athens and others. If these new "Macedonians" are indeed of those Macedonian origins past - are they not disrespecting the wishes of their ancestors by not wishing to be part of Hellenisim their ancestors fought so hard to gain acceptance into? (including belong to an Orthodox church which is schismatic?).

Any more unreasonable than a French-Norseman-Saxon-Angle-Jute population inheriting the name "Britain" simply because they live in the geographic region?
