What I noticed is that a lot of these border worlds are named after the seas on the northern Hemisphere
Laptev Sea
Bering Sea
Sea of Galilee (Galileo)
Sea of Cortez
Straight of Magellan
Hudson Bay

Only one I can't find is Kepler
While not a bad track @Altejago , I think they actually reference Explorers:
Bering, Vitus Bering (1681–1741), Danish-born navigator in the service of the Russian Navy
Coronado, Francisco Vásquez de Coronado (1510–1554), Spanish explorer often referred to simply as "Coronado"
Drake, Sir Francis Drake (1540–1596) was an Elizabethan privateer and naval hero.
Galileo, Galileo Galilei, the famous Astronomer
Kepler, Johannes Kepler, another famous astronomer
Laptev, Dmitry Laptev (1701–1771), Russian explorer
Inverness, Bit of an odd ball name, named after a location in Scotland could stand with a rename unless Bretonia decides to lay claim to it, other wise perhaps Mawson or Mackay?
Puerto Rico, Another odd ball suppose it too could go with a rename, Ponce De Leon or Columbus could both be reasonable choices for a rename
Vespucci, Amerigo Vespucci, Italian explorer, assistant of Christoph Columbus and after whom the American continent was named.
Zurich, Chosen for its relative location to the French/German border? Not sure here, seeing as it is classified as a Independant World, it could go with a rename but I do not see that being 100% needed, though if it were renamed perhaps Champlain, Cousteau or even Cartier?
That out of the way, with the Laptev Change proposal here, I actually really enjoy this idea of making it a fun little pocket system. Would make it fun interesting and more then a little exciting to explore a bit.
