But you must admit, that for English speaker not only the Ü , but also the CH are really big challenges. I feel like they done their best with Munich here.
But anyways, I would be in favor of changing it for the original upper bavarian "MINGA"
The first record mentioning Munic says that it’s called “forum apud Munichen” (1158). So “Munich” is just a case where an old world survived the centuries in exile, while the people living nearby changed it around.
