No Mayor Cordova, they will not be asking your city to change its name. Not anymore than they've asked Bethlehem Pennsylvania to change it's name. Not anymore than they've asked any of the various Philadelphias to change their names even though it's mentioned in Revelations. As far as I know, none of the municipalities listed at the link below have ever been asked to change their names because of their biblical origin.

But of course your's will be the first.
