It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
Yeah, Doctor Peter Weller has a mind he likes to stretch on occasion, and Italian Renaissance art history isn't exactly one of those PhDs someone casually picks up for the many and numerous job possibilities it offers.

Not a lot of flabby guys in Italian Renaissance art. The women tend to be badonkadonk, but not the men.

Something's still wrong with this code
Not sure if this needs context, but Thor is an old man and basically the only person left alive on the world, next to his granddaughters.
They're rebuilding the earth, starting from scratch. Roz is the name of his new present-time girlfriend the earlier pages of the book focused on.

While I like the sentiment and it makes sense because we know those characters in the story, I keep coming back to the fact that the three best people Thor has ever known in his thousands of years of life just happened to all live in the same 50 years or so. That's so improbable!

It's a valid point. One of my favorite parts of Alan Moore's Majestic story "The Big Chill" involves the fact that Manny Weiss--the Wandering Jew--and Majestic a.k.a "totally not Superman" both came from Earth despite being one of the last seven living things in the entire universe:

Super agreed. Comics that take place in the distant future and account for the ridiculous scope of stories and fleeting nature of what's going on right now are much more interesting than "hey this character I made and added to the avengers is totally still there in the future". Let me fill in the blanks by myself, it's so much more interesting.

I just assumed he'd named dozens or hundreds of rivers so far and his daughter was just listing three of them.

True. I first thought that thought when he named the first people Jane and Steve. At the point where he's naming rivers, I figure he's just a bit senile and his granddaughters are sick of his poo poo.

You'd best go with the former, because if Thor named something on his new Earth after Doom, it'd probably be real lovely.

When you consider that mot of those thousands of years were most likely spent in Asgard it stops being so improbable.

One of the best things about Aaron's run on Thor is showing how "young" Thor spent so much of his time dicking around outside of Asgard, mostly looking for a drink or a good time.

Yeah, Young Thor was a real shitheel and the comic really makes a point of how Thor looks at his days on Earth when he was Avenging poo poo as the best of his life. So it makes sense that he'd name poo poo after the mortals he hung with then.

I fully expect him to name a crappy place after Tony. Like, he remembers him and respects him but still can't forget all the poo poo he did so he gets a crappy place named after him. Like whatever used to be New Jersey is now Tony Starksey.
