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
