    No, they can call them anything they want as long as they do not make you get on your knees and all that stuff.I could name a city Jesus nc as long as I did not try to make you worship Jesus .

    yes I see your point, maybe something to alert to the authorities, however, ther is a terminology reference in wikkipedia for a greek fderative,

    meaning ; 'district'.............
    so who knows, maybe some one of Greek origin named the counties parishes first..............
