"In an attempt to curtail the fun had at the village’s expense some locals want to readopt its 16th-Century spelling and replace the “ck” with a single or double “g”

Maybe derive something completely different from its history? "Andnowfor"?

Me too!
They should (and will) definitely stick to that name.
Sometimes I feel this village is even more famous than Vienna!
