I don't see any problems with odd or anachronistic geographic names, they add a 
bit of humour to a map. My favourite is Up the Road, just outside Hartford, 
Connecticut. 

I say, leave Alligator River as is. If we changed every geographic place name 
because some people are perturbed by lack of "correctness" of some form in the 
name, it would be a somewhat boring world. May as well just use numbers, though 
some people would complain about some numbers.

Cheers,

Carl Clifford
