America is a continent, although in common parlance it's a country as well.

Changing names is a recipe for confusion though.   You're not
constrained to choose a timezone by name though: I regularly choose
timezones from two sorts of map, one shows regions, the other places
(cities, mainly) and I also get timezone chosen by GPS or IP location.

I don't like being lumped in with Europe either :)
