What is the source of this ridiculous name, nobody calls it Whetstone as it is not in Whetstone.
It has no verifiable name but is generally known as Leicester South of just Junction 21.

A lot of junctions have arguably silly names, the Avonmouth Interchange comes to mind which is notable for not being connected to anything, as well as not being in Avonmouth. I think the only criteria really is just that its somewhere vaguely nearby and not closer to another junction.

Thank you however those sites are hardly authoritative and the names appear to have been made up with no on the ground knowledge. Hardly suitable for OSM which is supposed to reflect the real world.
A junction name should as a minimum appear on a sign.

https://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Whetstone_Interchange isn't really anything that we can use, is it? Without any source information (e.g. to a photograph of a sign) it's just a page on the Internet that someone made up.
