Omerica/Emerica

Based on the Alternate State Names in US post.

So I had always wondered if a ATL could exist but essentially be identical to the OTL. So here's the scenario I came up with. Some mapping error causes the Americas to be called Omerica/Emerica instead.

I figured since Omerica/Emerica is essentially the same as America, then there is a chance the butterfly effect might not come into play. Opinions?

Still the Butterfly effect might happen because of some Europeans' opinion on the name, but honestly (Any Vowel)-merica would seem to be as equally and exactly as Strange.

Anyway I was also going to use Imerica but various people could turn "I"merica into an Individualistic Haven. (Even more so then the Original Timeline:D)
 
Depending on how extremely you view the butterfly effect, changing the name could mean the Americas develop nothing like OTL. Of course, as you said it could turn out exactly the same with just a different name...
