Why stop there? A ton of places in the US, including entire states, are named for old British references, or Spanish, Mexican, and French things. We have a ton of renaming to do.

Top notch trolling of the orange nutjob there. I wonder if Donald Fart will have even a moment's reflection or cognitive dissonance.

There's already an English Channel, but Maybe King Charles should declare that the Bay of Biscay is now to be known as the Bay of Cornwall, the Irish Sea to be called the Welsh Sea, the North Sea, the Scottish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean will be called the British Ocean.
