Since Calgary was named after a settlement on the Scottish Island of Mull, perhaps it could have been named after a different settlement from that island.
Here are some ideas: Tobermory, Bunessan, Salen, Craignure, Fionnphort

Need some help for a future update. Does anyone have any suggestions for names for the numbered African territories pictured below?
I think it might be best to combine 1 and 2, as I believe both have Tuareg majorities.
1/2. Tuareg Republic
3. Senegambian Republic
4. Republic of Guinea
5. Republic of Sierra Leone
6. Republic of the Ivory Coast
7. Republic of the Gold Coast
8. Republic of Dahomey
EDIT: 1 and 2 both appear to have a few somewhat large population centers from Mali and Niger in them, perhaps the border is best moved north a bit?
1. Tombouctou Division (1 and 2 might be merged to form a unified French Sahara)
2. Agadez Division
3. British Senegambia or British West Africa
4. Upper Niger
5. Sierra Leone
6. Ivory Coast
7. Gold Coast or Volta Colony
8. British Dahomey (I doubt calling it the "Slave Coast" would go over well with the locals)
You should probably also merge the northern parts of 7 and 8 to form Upper Volta. It just makes more sense that way, and it'll also be easier to administrate (what with the capitals of both those colonies probably being along the coast).

Thanks for the excellent feedback! I like the sound of Senegambia as the territory is mostly a merger of the British colony of Gambia along with French Senegal after the Great War. However, I guess you could also just call it Senegal, Gambia, or Guinea, or Seneguinea. But British West Africa would also be a good compromise. I think the names Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, Gold Coast, and Dahomey work well. I will have to think about whether they should create a separate territory in the Upper Volta region. Cheers!
- Republic of Azawad
- Empire of Central Sahara
- Senegambian Republic
- Kingdom of Songhai
- Republic of Sierra Leone
- Republic of Senoufo
- Republic of Ghana
- Empire of Togo
1. Quiet acceptable, but Mali seems bit more plausible.
2. Why it would be empire? Who would be its monarch. It will probably be republic, when France too is republic.
3. OK.
4. Probably this will too is republic, but kingdom not be impossible.
5. OK.
6. Not comment.
7. When in OTL Gold Coast get name Ghana? It is plausible?
8. This seems bit or as empire. Probably it will be republic. And this area known as Dahomey and probably it will be Dahomey too when it is independence. And where from name Togo even comes?
Very interesting, I hadn't though about Akanland.
What do y'all think about Twaregia for #2?
Since #1 didn't get much enthusiasm how about these other options for the pro-independence rebels of the Indonesian Congress Party. Which do y'all prefer?
The red seemed to work well, perhaps add thin red bordering along all the black on #3, (or at least around the diagonal stripe?)
As-is, #3 is still the best.
