hey, all. this thought occurred to me as i was going over my notes again and i just wanted to get some extra opinions. so, in my ASB ATL, there are multiple wars between the United States and Spain and at present i have it written that some place names are only temporary (for example, Los Angeles becomes Angel City) and they change back after the war is over. for some OTL context, plenty of places in the Entente during World War I changed their German names to disassociate themselves with Imperial Germany and, to my knowledge, didn't change back.

so my question is does anyone think that Spanish-language place names, especially those in OTL's Mexican border states, would change during repeated wars with Spain and not change back, or would they revert to the original names after the war ended, or would they not change at all?
