Miranda, New ZealandPūkorokoro / Miranda – There's been a formal change of name that's happened at this place; they now have a dual name as shown. Miranda itself is just some spread out houses. What they are mostly known for is the Shorebird Centre, run by a trust with an international reputation. The other thing that is more widely known is the hot springs. All of this was successively renamed in 2014 and 2015. Rather than write a long rationale here, I've expanded the article and explained it there. Of most significance, I suggest, it that the trust renamed itself and is now known as the Pūkorokoro Miranda Naturalists' Trust. Any dual naming is potentially controversial and a formal move request is thus in order. Schwede66 06:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note that there is a hill called "Pukorokoro" nearby. But the sources that I can see do seem to show that the place called "Miranda" has been renamed and WP:NATURAL might apply anyway. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:56, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. And a stream: “The New Zealand Geographic Board added to the proposal that the local hill Pukorokoro be renamed to receive a macron and that the same would happen to Pukorokoro Stream.” Schwede66 20:48, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
