The problem isn't Scunthorpe specifically. That particular problem is just one case of a broader problem.
Should we also rename the whole Parus and * Sula* genera (the tits and boobies, respectively)? Should we stop referring to female dogs as bitches? Should geologists come up with new names for marshite, brushite, or mackintoshite (the jokes write themselves about that last one)? What about cockshead (the herb) and Cockshead (the town)?
