I can deal with boring or overly artistic names, but no way the Westpark station should be called "Tysons Central." With Tysons Corner Center at the other station, you're asking for eternal confusion, for tourists and locals alike.

I really think the station at Tysons Corner Center should be called "Tysons Corner Center," regardless of the fact that there's a Galleria there too. It's the commercial center of Tysons Corner, if not geographical.

Tysons-McLean because it's the closest station to McLean (à la Vienna/Fairfax). And the highway signs for the off-ramp to that part of Tysons say "McLean." Some consistency in labeling is good for orientation purposes.

Spring Hill Road and Wiehle Avenue should just be named after the street names (I'd be okay with Westpark Drive as well, but it sounds boring, so I went with Tysons-Westpark, which is also what the bus destination signs already say). This is also what the highway off ramps say.

Reston Town Center is great--just like Tysons Corner Center it is named after the nearest, biggest commercial attraction.

Herndon-Monroe after the park-and-ride lot that's already there, as well as the street (why fix what isn't broken?).

And why not call the last station before Dulles "Innovation Drive"? That's what kind of companies are there, and there's no need to label it Dulles when it's not the airport station.

That's my take. If I were king this would all be so easy. :) (Too many cooks …)
