How about Lyon, pronounced Lion, following on the tradition of the local Delhi pronounced Del-hi. Why Lyon? Only a King would now.

Not liking Lyon. Besides, King had a lot of skeletons too. It’s unavoidable when you start digging around. You could rename it after a city with good history. Unsure what city, though. Though a city that has been resilient and progressive. But again, just about any name someone is going to find offensive. But lets not name it after any man (or woman). Though I really don’t think there will be a name change anyway.
