Reminded me of the petition launched (in the 90s, I think) to rename the city of Fishkill, NY. They wanted to call it "Fish Friend" instead. The very confused locals were like, "But kill is the Dutch word for creek -- the name just means creek full of fish." Kind of like how the Catskill mountains don't mean cats were either killing or being killed -- they could just be seen at the water's edge, so someone named a creek after them, then named the mountain range after the creek that ran through them.
