Rename World
Collaborative map where anyone can rename anything
What it does
rename.world lets anyone rename any place on Earth. Cities, mountains, rivers — even a random bench in a park. Propose names. Vote in head-to-head duels. Watch the best names rise through an ELO rating system that somehow keeps the chaos civil. For geography geeks: daily quiz, Saturday naming races with collectible badges, and infinite duels. 55,000+ renames. 10 languages. No signup. No ads. Just maps and beautiful chaos.
