"Goa's name should be changed herewith to GOEM"
Why not Govepuri, the original name of Goa in the Mahabharata given to it by Lord Krishna? OR Gopakapattanam, the Kadamba port on the Zuari? Even Aparanta from Ashoka's time is a nice name for Goa.
Why not a Sanskrit name -- it was the official language of the Kadambas.

Incidentally, Kadambas were also Ghattis -- they were from Karnataka.

Deve Gowda came with 8 lakhs cash,and with an agenda to make kannada one of the official language, why dont the ghattis adjust to adopted homeland.

Dude, Kannads ruled Goa for 350 years starting from 966 AD when Shahastha Deva captured power -- This period is today called Goa's First Golden Age.
Kannads are not Ghattis. They are ex-rulers of Goa. They can very well demand Goa to be merged with Karnataka because they ruled it for three centuries. Goa is their property.

Kannads better resolve the discrimination and subjuguation of Marathis in Belgaum.

If Ghattis dont adjust and integrate to adopted land they dont have a future at all.

i have really seen what is happening in Goa. We are getting divisive for no reason at all. Goa is still peaceful and beautiful, and that "state of mind" as Oscar Rebello talked of about Goa, rules the way we think.
The Spirit of Goa is one of unison in thought and direction, and if we can manage to forget that we are minority or majority et al, there is so much that we can do together to make Goa the most talked of region in the world.
Let us unite under that free Spirit of Goa and reach out to the world rather than direct spears into each other's hearts.

"what you understand about our local langaunge" I know more about Konkani than you do. Have you finished fighting about making Konkani in Roman script official language too?
