I'd support it. There's such a thing as toponomastics. And conventional place names shouldn't be changed at the whimsy of some dictator in charge of the world's biggest banana republic.

All it is, is awkward trolling. Trump knows nothing of toponomastics, and revels in the belief that he rules the world. Hey, GOP, have you considered a strait-jacket as your emperor's new clothes?

Clíath “hurdle” is famously present in Irish toponomastics:...

Trump and his idiocracy know nothing about toponomastics, and think their inflated egos can dictate how the rest of the world operates.

The link here is postapocalyptic toponomastics, but if you've never read 'Riddley Walker' by Russell Hoban, I strongly recommend taking a look at the first chapter and seeing whether it's for you.

There's a branch of linguistics devoted to the study of proper names (onomastics) and within that, a branch devoted to place names (toponomastics)
I wonder what the depth of study is in these fields for Canadian place names.

Google is just kowtowing to Donald the Vast. Neither Trump nor Google apparently know toponomastics, i.e., how places come to be named.
After Trump's arrogant and pretentious Gulf of America stunt, I fully expect him to name his horse to the Senate... oh, wait! That was Caligula.

🙄Just saw someone baffled by "toponomastics" (the study of place names - perfectly obvious Greek roots!). All this "people knowing more than me is deeply suspect" nonsense needs to stop. If I come across a word I don't know, I *look it up*. And then I've learned something.
