So I'm writing some fluff for a post Apocalyptic game I'm designing & I want to rename Columbus Ohio something cool because Christopher Columbus is a shitty person. What would be interesting? My only idea is Renaming it Columus, which isn'the that exciting.
Go spaghetti western and rename settlements after concepts that are relevant to the players. For example, in that one Sharon Stone movie, the town is called Redemption.

Could always name it Amerigo, since, apparently, Amerigo was way less of a shitty fuck than Columbus.

Well I'm already using Fort Defiance, which is near there too

The name of a character's family member, perhaps. Less on-the-nose than naming it after themselves directly.
(Col)Umbus(o)h(io)
Basically give it the NoVac special, so Umbush

Discovery?

Just have the sign missing some letters.
"Couu"

4/10 too subtle nobody is going to give a shit

Name it after the shitty guy that resettled it. Or a visible feature or what attracted people to the area.
