Can you name the island on which Propero and Miranda live in Shakespeare's "The Tempest"?

Hi Colin,
Wasn't it just known as Prospero's Island?

Yes, at no time in the play is the island ever given a name. Critics just refer to it as the island and so it's a bit of a trick question - just like asking what the first name of Maxim's second wife is in the novel "Rebecca" by Daphne du Maurier (she's refzrred to only as Mrs de Winter throughout).
