Point taken.  I suppose part of it is that I prefer it when things as big as
countries have their own unique single-word names as most seem to.   And I
prefer it when technical correctness removes rather than adds confusion.

On a side note, my home-town was to be named after Portland, ME or Boston, MA
based on the best-two-out-of-three flips of a penny.
