Hoi,
So how do I indicate that up to a particular date Jakarta was called Batavia ? Muhammed Ali was called Cassius Clay ? There is no discussion about it. All there is an (potentially perceived) inability to use appropriate labels at will.

Labels are not simple.
Thanks,

If the name is something that is changed, debated, or otherwise a subject of
discussion, create a statement using an appropriate property. The point of
having labels is precisely that they are simple.
