Ken:
Thats a good Idea to name a ssp after the location, it would clarify
verbal ID and the name need not be in latin if everyone knew it to be a
place name. I'll bet though that the name would still have to conform to
the rules of latin so it would get distorted enough to make sense to
Romans. Also, those dilligent souls who ultimately decide these things
are rumored to move through taxonomic esoterica the way continents move
through the lithosphere, and I'll bet there are curators who would feel
a cold chill if they even heard rumors of this.
