Failed analogy.
It would work if they wanted to rename the gulf as "Mount America."

This is like Bob changing his name legally to Chad.
It can, and does happen:

This is not redefining the thing by changing the name. That would be calling it something other than a gulf, which it is, and demanding that everyone accept that it is now a different geographical feature.
Analogy is wrong. It doesn't work.

Well, no.
A name change is not the same as redefining something against objective reality.
If the government changes the name, then objectively that I the new name. This is not the same as redefining something as something it is not.
It's a naming dispute.
