I like the Australian system, because it's inclusive. Take my seat for example - its current name is Melbourne Ports, which is ridiculous because it doesn't even include the current main port, although it did at federation - it linked the naval base at williamstown through the yarra mouth docks to Port Melbourne, which was the main passenger dock as well as important for shipping. Now, it heads along the beach to the southeastern suburbs. Even if the name had changed over time, it'd be something like Caulfield-St. Kilda-South Melbourne, excluding all the other localities within the seat. Changing it something like "Crean", "Whitlam" or "Cheng" would be great - or at least "Hobson's Bay" or "Port Phillip".
