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 )

No, I'm not worried. You can have Gibraltar. Es miramente un escollo con unos monos.

Correction.

One more correction:
She has stained her reputation at work, because she has stolen money.
