Non, non...
Paul, I remind you the rules for naming (from africa):
# Use the most populous among locations in a country's time zone,
# e.g. prefer `Shanghai' to `Beijing'. Among locations with
# similar populations, pick the best-known location,
# e.g. prefer `Rome' to `Milan'.
So we should stick with Europe/Paris, since it is much bigger.
