Actually I am probably in favour of the principle of most surprise. Let people find out about stuff they dont know about. If we put Georgia the country at Georgia, people might get interested in a country with a cuisine based around pomegranates and walnuts. They can speculate as to why Jethro Tull named themselves after an agriculturalist, and learn about the lesser known [[Claude Lévi-Strauss]].
