They take their names very seriously here. A suggestion like that is asking for a whollop. The Irish government tried to change Dingle’s name to An Daingean tomake it “more Irish” and resulting hornets nest made for some interesting politics. http://dinglename.com.

I’m used to towns names like Rifle, Silt, Basalt… Stuff like that. Maybe you could make their lives a little easier with a simplification suggestion or two. Let me know how that goes.
