Vote from Washington, DC:
  • Navy Yard [Ballpark]
  • NoMa [Gallaudet U]
  • Smithsonian [The National Mall]
  • Waterfront [Arena Stage]
  • Forest Glen [Holy Cross Hospital]
  • King Street [Old Town]
  • Use subtitles for long names
  • Use subtitle for Grosvenor
  • Use subtitles for all universities

Station names should convey a sense of community identity, not just location; NoMa is preferable to New York Avenue. The names should be as short as possible, and shift as much semantically separate content to the subtitles, away from the primary name; Foggy Bottom (with GWU or even GWU-Kennedy Center as a subtitle) is preferable to Foggy Bottom - GWU. Finally, given the availability of the subtitles, providing notice of major institutions to travellers within reason enhances wayfinding.
