If US districts were given names instead of being assigned by numbers?

Gerrymandering and decade redistricting would make this a doozy.

Yeah, it would only work if districts were drawn with COIs heavily in mind. Smaller states would be easier to name, as redistricting doesn't completely change the map and even district numbers (here's looking at you California) every ten years. One easy district name that came to mind is Nancy Pelosi's 12th district in California since it's wholly in the City of San Francisco and covers all of it except Southwest corner of the city.

North Carolina:

NC-01: Rocky Mount and Greenville
NC-02: Raleigh
NC-03: Outer Banks
NC-04: Durham and Chapel Hill
NC-05: High Country and Gaston (and Foothills could work too, but it doesn't include Catawba the largest foothill county so idgaf)
NC-06: Greensboro and Winston-Salem
NC-07: Cape Fear and Johnston
(Wilmington and Johnston or Southeast and Johnston could work too, but this, the 8th, 9th, and 10th districts are such abominations, it's hard to come up with 'good' names so I'll just go with names that cover the geographic extent of the districts)
NC-08: Concord and Fayetteville
NC-09: South Mecklenburg, Union, and Sandhills
NC-10: Lake Norman and Outer Forsyth
NC-11: Smoky Mountains
NC-12: Charlotte
NC-13: Salisbury, Lexington, and Burlington
