Naming a colony after the wife of a monarch is a touch unusual. Really, naming it after someone other than the monarch or the founder tends to be a bit odd. Not impossible, just a bit odd.

Really, even naming the colony after the king or founder is a bit odd - the norm is some sort of reference to where they came from.

Really, the best name may depend on when it's founded.

As for Murat, his parents and grandparents - farmers - are known to have lived into their 60s, and in one case, into their 80s. With his better life, expect him to be alive into the 1840s.
