This whole kerfuffle made me curious how common it is for a geographic object between two countries to be called by different names and it is surprisingly (at least to me) common!

Examples include:

Sea between Korean and Japan

Gulf between Iran and Arabian Peninsula

Islands controlled by Japan, claimed by China

Islands controlled by South Korea, claimed by Japan

Islands controlled by Russia, claimed by Japan

River forming part of China-Russia border

River forming part of China-North Korea border

Moutain on China-North Korea border

River through India and Bangladesh

Body of water between Britain and France

This was after a phone call from Trump, unlike Google which complied in advance - I wonder if it was to Cook or Ternus?
