If Canada named an island and a whole province after Prince Edward, should America name an Island after Prince

Question

Princess Diana?
The big sandbar that Jones Beach is on, is an Island with no name.

Answer 1

It's a good idea. I think the island should be named after the Black Prince. Not only would this be a genuine, historical, royal connection but also be politically correct.

Answer 2

Most of the names that have been given to islands and provinces are very historical. So, using your example of Prince Edward, at the time it was named, the current Prince Edward had not even been born. Alaska also has many names of places after members of the royal family such as Prince William Sound and Prince of Wales Island, but neither refer to the current men with those titles. As to whether or not the United States should name an island after Diana, I think definitely not. She never wanted all the big fuss that she often received from the public and I think she would have thought having an island named after her silly.

Answer 3

Canada is a constitutional monarchy with the Queen as the official head of state. The US is a republic which fought to gain independence from the King of England, so why would there be places named after any foreign country's royals.

Answer 4

That is a funny thought!
The Prince Edward that you are thinking of is not the one that our PEI is named after however.
