Somebody posted in Wikipedia that: "The Spanish name for the islands, "Islas Malvinas", is derived from the French name "Îles Malouines", bestowed in 1764 by Louis Antoine de Bougainville, after the mariners and fishermen from the Breton port of Saint-Malo who became the island's first known human settlers."

Let me put it this way, if Bretons from Saint-Malo called it that, and were the first human settlers, then that's it's name.

Things with a history like that should not be trifled with by later illegal alien invaders you know.

Particularly when it was done by folks who were probably among my closer relatives in the world at that time.
