Gerrymandering and decade redistricting would make this a doozy.

Decade redistricting does not really make things that much harder. AThe UK is supposed to redistrict every 8-12 years; though they have stuck with the same districts since 2005 at this point.

Gerrymandering does make this impossible indeed though; and in fact giving districts names might make gerrymandering a bit harder to do (but definitely not impossible at all)
