Just out of boredom,

Rupertsland - Canada (in truth, Rupert's Land was just the name of a territory in British North America that was mostly in Canada)
Franklin - parts of Tennessee and the Carolinas (perhaps an alternate name for Tennessee)
San Bernardino Valley - Inland Empire in Southern California, east of Los Angeles (there was a point in the early 1900's in which it was called that, before the Inland Empire name came along)
San Miguel - San Diego (its old name)
Alba Nuadh - Nova Scotia (in a world where Scottish Gaelic is one of the predominant languages in Nova Scotia)
Alyaska - Alaska (Alaska keeps part of its Russian identity?)

West Virginia could have been called Kanawha (as was originally intended) or New Virginia (which was debated)

North America could be called Borealia (Latin for North land)
South America could be called Australia (Latin for South land)
