    That’s an interesting theory, we may just test that out.

    But I suspect that ten years from now, it’s name will be whatever it’s been saying on the maps. Just ask New Yorkers (sorry, I mean new Amsterdamers).

      New Amsterdam is different, that was hundreds of years ago before there were millions of printed maps and it’s another thing to rename own landmarks after a conquest or something which isn’t within your country.
