I refer to it as Manhattan, as do you, which is a slight variation of St. Menhoulde which was applied to the place by the first permanent settlers ~ all of whom came from Wallonia.

Do you think I don't know these things?

Do you think I don't know these things?

That is exactly what I think and know to be quite true. You most certainly do not apply your naming convention evenly to every place in the world. What are your names for Egypt, Iceland, the Canary Islands, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, etc. I'm sure you do not know these things and simply made up a silly reason after the fact to justify your silly comments.
