Names, Geographical - Naming after a person
|
| Answer/Pointer: |
What is the address to write for information about getting a river or mountain named after someone?
Could it be done if the person honored is still alive?
Answer: No. The U.S. Board of Geographic Names has a strict rule again naming mountains, rivers, etc.
After living people. Also, the honor would have to be justified. Write:
Executive Secretary, Domestic Geographic Names,
U.S. Board on Geographic Names National Center, Reston, VA 22092
