Why no push to change names of San Francisco, San Diego, etc.

It just kind of hit me. I'm sure there have been fringe movements, but with all of the fervor that some make over separation of church and state, why no organized efforts to change the names of cities like these?
For example, take San Francisco, which is named after the Catholic Saint Francis of Assisi.
Surely, that has to offend some people.
And, of course, we all know the origin of San Diego's name: LINK

Could you imagine the names that would proposed?

Add in St Louis and St Paul, right?

You have a point but my personal example has more credence - I do my voting at a Baptist church.

I'm more offended that the names are Spanish.

Me and my friends used to prank call people and pretend to be asians, Indians, or muslims asking people to sign a petition to change the name from Fort Worth to New Beijing or New New Dehli or New Saigon or New Islamabad
The reactions were funny

I'm offended by UGATiger, just not the 26 part
Soon everyone is going to be bitching about everything from coffee names to pencils. 3M??? So offensive!
