I agree that this is unfortunate naming and that we should consider
picking another name.

I just wonder why nobody raised issues with the name while it was on the
proposed names wiki page, while it was on the ballot, or while it was
under final consideration. We've known that "Meiji" was an option for
one month, and that it was #3 in the candidate names for more than 2
weeks. And yet nobody ever raised any issue with it until it was
officially chosen and announced, at which point it's a lot more
difficult to change.
