As an American and long time OSM contributor, I also vote extremely no on Gulf of America.
Also no on renaming New Mexico.
Wait there's talk of renaming New Mexico‽
after some digging
Oh thank god it was just a joke

Baton Rouge -> Red Stick
How about you rename deez (wal)nutz
Sorry, had to
New Mexico? You mean "South America", right?
(Everything south of the Rio Grande is now "Mexico". Except for the ~~Panama~~ America canal.)
But you couldn't tell, could you. 😂 I'm keeping this joke alive as long as I can, until Trump gets wind of it and actually does it.
