Mandovi is the sensible name for it but i was the beginning of a process to “remove Portuguese influence and culture” by calling it Mhadei.
If in some weird reality the Portuguese were to recolonize Goa, those same Caros, Dempos and Bhornos who quickly changed their names to Karés, Dempés and Bharnés would as quickly revert to their Portuguese versions without as much as batting an eyelid. Also street and building name changes from the British-ruled India and Portuguese-ruled Goa versions merely meant the streets became dirtier and messier and buildings became more dilapidated than ever.
