New Mexico predates Mexico. From wikipedia

New Mexico received its name long before the present-day nation of Mexico won independence from Spain and adopted that name in 1821. The name "Mexico" derives from Nahuatl and originally referred to the heartland of the Mexica, the rulers of the Aztec Empire, in the Valley of Mexico

True, but the meme cites Mexico City, which was called "Mexico City" before New Mexico was established

So Mexico should be New New Mexico, and New Mexico should be Old New Mexico.

We could just call one North and the other South. And then write a popular folk song that calls out landmarks South Mexico that are really Southern North Mexico. Country Roads style.
