George Washington is known for humility: Living in his family home, turning down a third term and excessive powers, accepting the title of "Mr. President" among more exalted titles. How did he feel about the Capital city being named in his honor?
I hope it's ok that I post this here as it speaks to the premise of your question. u/TRB1783 answered my question about Washington's personality. Maybe he has insight concerning your actual question.
