So the Trump administration has sought to rename the Gulf of Mexico, and Google and Apple are falling in line. (Though apparently a lot of users of Google Maps are reporting Gulf of America as misspelled.)

Now for your team names this week, we want you to look at a map and suggest another name change.

New Mexico is now Slightly Used Mexico
