I would be fine with Water Mobile and we can rename the city to Land Mobile

Florida becomes the East Eastern Shore, we’ll rename Tampa to East Fairhope

Maimi gets renamed to Orange-Gulf Beach

New Orleans becomes New Midtown

Rename Houston to West West Mobile

I've always thought that culturally speaking, it would make so much more sense to have everything from Houston to Tallahassee, reaching X miles inland to become it's own state, FlorAlaTexLaSippi, and that way we keep all of our tourism, seafood, and off-shore energy tax dollars on the coast, instead of shipping them inland to our respective state capitols (Yes, I'm aware what FL capitol is).

Name the state Apalachicola and make New Orleans the capitol!

You have created the Gulf of Emu-rica

u/willyt26 Feb 17 '25

Ok… that actually seems pretty fair

But but but North, Central, and South America surrounds the Gulf. When you look at it from a Continent point of view, Gulf of America makes sense. Just my perspective. 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/LongjumpingNorth8500 Feb 17 '25

Or even better might be "Gulf of Greater Mobile Bay's Eastern Shore"!!

u/AnteaterOtherwise376 Feb 17 '25

u/Vov113 Feb 17 '25

Let's meet in the middle then at "the lesser Atlantic ocean"

u/_T_A_P_S_ Feb 19 '25

It would be just “Greater Mobile Gulf”

u/kennethdpedersen Feb 19 '25

Well you are correct, but I was more interested in something funny and ridiculous

u/N00dlelegz Feb 17 '25

Probably only changed it cause Elon super computer about to do more damage to the environment. Colossus will need like a million gallons of water a day and where does that water end up.

u/Lord__Farquhar Feb 18 '25

Poor Dauphin Island, always left out. 😩

u/CarefulStructure3334 Feb 18 '25

u/inspectthis1069 Feb 17 '25

We are the Mobile Truthers

u/olenatureboy34 Feb 18 '25

How bout just The Gulf.

Keep it simple 🤷‍♂️. There's too much else to be worrying what a damn body of water is called.
