A German city has changed one street's name from "Buschstrasse" to "Wilhelm-Busch-Strasse," lest people think it was named after the American President, rather than the German humorist.

Yeah, but the article also says that with respect to American firms, German cities change street names like "Zum Perlenhafen" ("at the Pearl Harbour") into "Zum Hafen" as they do with "Am Nullpunkt" ("At Ground Zero") into "Karl-Schiller-Straße".
