Honestly, it's a more reasonable name given that it's a massive gulf in the Continent of North America.
Mexico is a specific political state.
It was very odd as a small child living on the Gulf coast that despite having a near 0 Mexican population for hundreds of miles in any direction, the water was named after them.
Nothing I'd go crazy about, but it does make it more in line with most waterways with specific names like that.
Tho iirc the name dates back to colonial times. Mexico wasn't really a independent entity yet.
