This certainly seems sound for whatever portion of the gulf is Mexico's territory, but, does Mexico have jurisdiction over the 'middle part'? My non-expert understanding is that the US owns the portion of the gulf that's within 200 nautical miles of US land and Mexico owns anything within 200 nautical miles of Mexican land, leaving a bit in the center that's international waters. Maybe there's a treaty that gives most of it to Mexico somehow?
The solution where we cut it in half on the map and give it two names seems silly, since it is a single geographic feature. `Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)` (and the reverse when connecting from the US) seems like a reasonable middle-ground. It doesn't seem that Google Maps generally indicates who controls which ocean territory.
