They'd also have to rename the Union Jack. Union Joe?

Nah, Union Jock! ("Jock" is a slightly derogatory nickname for a Scotsman, like "Mick" or "Paddy" for an Irishman.)

My Heart? Independence for Scotland.

I thought about "Union Lucien" in honor of my Scottish grandfather, Lucien Read. But, it doesn't sound right.
