Home and away: find a place by any other name

I HEAR the people of Antwerp are seeking to have the name of their town changed to Anvers so that the people who have been looking for this city from French-speaking areas of their country for generations will be able to find it.

The people of Firenze are also seeking a name change since English drivers looking for Florence have been found wandering hopelessly, though happily, through Tuscany.

And the people of Nice are seeking a change to Nissa/Nice to facilitate those poor Italian tourists looking for this city on the Cote d’Azur.
