The timing seemed good, as one assumes that Philip will shuffle off this mortal coil before too much longer - his death could trigger the name change.

I think only a tiny minority of monarchists would seriously suggest renaming the city after a recently-deceased Royal, and the proposal would go nowhere. We’re past commemorating Royal events with city renamings. I don’t even particularly expect to see any “Prince Philip School” or anything like that.
Maybe “King Charles” or “King William” when it happens, but even that is doubtful.
