This seems to have gone from "tyrant (re)names place after himself" to, in the most extreme cases, "place happens to have the same name as some dude". A number of the examples, especially under Real Life, are even explicitly against the wishes of the people they're named after, and they're presented as if played straight despite being a subversion of this trope.

This trope should either be renamed and expanded to include the examples people seem to think it already includes, or half these examples should be chopped and a new trope added for places that just happen to be named after people.
