Give it the aboriginal name or names. It was only called the Leopold range because the chap who discovered it in 1879, though it would be a nice tribute to a King who was also an explorer.

If they get rid of Rhodes, then there will be very few statues in British cities. Pretty well everyone in the 19C was an (evil) imperialist, just as most Brits from middle class upwards in the 16th, 17th and 18th C benefited directly or indirectly from the slave trade. It is amusing that the last attempts to get rid of Rhodes statues and monuments were by white Afrikaners in the 50s.

Why would Americans glorify those who waged war on the United States?
Why name military bases after failed generals who lost wars?
Are you going to name the next battleship the USS Bin Laden?
