I agree with everything besides the name not fitting. We are currently in a tutorial area (kinda, Larian loves doing this kind of introduction that you can get more than 40 hours from) and the game heavily implies that a huge part of the game will happen in Baldur's Gate, or at least that getting to it is a big goal
Well, the point is that you could put much of the story in Baldur's Gate still, and not called it that. A lot of people went into this game thinking it would be the game they played and loved 20 years ago, to them "Baldur's Gate" is a style of game not a City in a DnD setting.
