Pienso que las palabras Mancha y Manche son falsos amigos entre francés y español.
I agree with you, surely they were false cognates, but I think it's quite difficult to change the name nowadays (maybe if Gibraltar comes back to Spain we'll change the name of Canal de la Mancha - it's a joke, don't get angry, please )
