The Gulf of Mexico is not a good comparison, because he can rename that with an executive order, at least within the US. No legislation required.

He can make the executive branch call it The Dumpty Bowl if he wants. That doesn't mean he has renamed it. He has zero power outside the executive branch. Fortunately the United States isn't yet ruled by decree.
