Ok, let's not get sarcastic. Even Sigmund Freud has a park in Vienna named after him. Lol.
Nice gesture 
awwwwwwwww. She was so sweet and adorable !! 
So atm it's called Augustinplatz, and it will be renamed... Augustinplatz. See how ridiculous political correctness can get.
I can imagine Chikilicuatre square in the centre of Barcelona or Soraya's Avenue in Madrid. It would be also nice to change the name of the royal palace in Oslo, for example Rybak's Palace and the Royal Secret Gardens. In Berlin, the Bundestag can be renamed as Bundeskisskiss and The Hermitage in Saint Petersbourg should dedicate some rooms to Philipp Kirkorov and Alla Pugachova
thats nice i want a street named after me imagine: Emmakiernan street!
