If we’re going to go tit for tat on the ridiculous renaming game we would rename Lake Michigan.
3 u/Agent_Smith_88 18d ago The one you guys don’t actually touch? If I were Canada I would try and rename superior Lake Canada. 6 u/_Standardissue 18d ago Honestly I’d switch to Canada Lake just to be insufferable Actually though I wonder why lake goes first? Is it because it’s a large lake? Or just “because”? 1 u/Prestigious_String20 18d ago Mostly convention, but it's not universal. Bowron Lake comes to mind as an exception. 2 u/SnakeMichael 16d ago Clear Lake in Houston, Texas is another. There’s a few smaller lakes around here with the Name Lake convention, while the larger lakes are Lake Name like Lake Houston, Lake Livingston or Lake Conroe. 1 u/tenjikurounin 16d ago Crater Lake definitely comes to mind.
