Atlantic ocean - frónhaf

Why can't we name the Atlantic ocean after Iceland? This has nothing to do with far-going hubris. Icelanders are the only native people who inhabit the largest part of new land formed on the MID-Atlantic Ridge. Yes, they are the only ones among the native Atlantic people (Guanches, Faroese, Icelanders, that's all I guess) who live right in the middle. How much more Atlantic can one get? The term 'Frónhaf' is shorter than Atlantshaf and it's transparent too! After all, there is only one sea known to encompass iceland, isn't it! YEEES, BINGO!

examples:
Atlatintic states: Frónhafsríkin
Mid-Atlantic Ridge: Frónhafshryggur, Jörmungandshryggur
NATO: Frónhafsbandalagið
