honestly as a non-American, this would unironically make things less confusing: the largest city on that lake is Chicago and I always have to consciously remember "that city is in Illinois, but the lake it is on is called Lake Michigan".

For the record, I do delare, that the Best Lake be named for the Best State. So now, hence forth and forever, Lake Superior shall be known as Lake Minnesota.
And Canadians, if you have a problem with that, shoulda renamed it faster.
And I declare my toilet as "Baby Ruth presents: The Northern South Texas Community Pool for Doodoos, Nudity, Lemmy, and Dead Legs"
I mean, it's your toilet.... call it what you want... but "the baby ruth presents: the Northern South Texas Community Pool for Doodoos, Nudity, Lemmy, and Dead legs" might be a little unwieldly....

West Virginia has just declared itself Virginia, Mountain High.
If you want to name the lake after a great state from America
You should call it
Lake Of Insanity
Right at the foot of
The Cliffs of Insanity.
To the South West of the Dick of Insanity
Watch out for the shrieking eels
Lake Bitchagain
I 100% did not think this was a joke.
What do you mean? This is "not the onion". Didn't you see the video from the governor? Its all very serious.
I feel in reaction Indiana will rename Michigan City, Michigan will reclaim the Toledo strip, and Ohio will Ohio.
Ohio will Ohio
You mean rename it after another famous place, but misspell/mispronounce it?
And Hell, Michigan stays the same I assume.
Hell is frozen right now, so it's hard to say what's underneath all that snow.
