Nobody seems to have considered the fact that it may well hurt French

Some sensitivity, please.
Of course it was considered - and led to the suggestion that St Pancras
station should be renamed London Agincourt.

This, of course would lead to the French retaliating by renaming the
Gare du Nord after a great French military victory over the English.

There is already a station in East Sussex...

That was a Norman victory, not a French one...
