Final answer:

The question does not provide enough detail to offer a specific name that Eve gave to the Garden of Eden in the satire. The act of renaming aims to critique or allude to familiar American cultural elements.

Step-by-step explanation:

The satire about Eve and the renaming of the Garden of Eden to a name illustrating familiarity to most Americans is a clever literary device used to critique or highlight certain aspects of society. Although the information provided does not specify the exact name Eve gave to the Garden of Eden in the satire, we can infer that the act of renaming is symbolic, potentially alluding to the commercial or cultural elements prevalent in American society at the time. The provided excerpts from various texts, including the biblical 'Genesis' and the novel 'Babbitt', which criticizes the conformity of the American middle class, don't directly answer the question but offer context on themes of knowledge, choice, and societal norms.
