Holytown to Hellishtown, Breich to Dreich, Coatbridge Sunniside to something more appropriate.

Without wishing to jump on the bandwagon, Battersea Power Station to Battersea.
It seems to be becoming increasingly obvious that this name doesn’t really work. A lot of people are commenting that it “feels wrong” or is difficult on the tongue.

100% agree! Especially after a certain Mr Marshall's video from the opening day. He pointed out that many Underground stations include the word 'station' on the entrance building, so Battersea Power Station Station just doesn't work and so it breaks the trend! It doesn't look or feel quite right as it is.
How about naming after the famous local institution - "Battersea Dogs and Cats Home"?

...which is at least still open. Unlike the former and much-hacked-about-with former power station that now seems to peep out from behind other stuff, especially from street level.

"Regular" Stratford as Stratford South feels very inaccurate to me. I'd prefer Stratford Central.

Or name it after a person: Stratford Johns.

Battersea Power Station should really be Nine Elms, and Nine Elms should be South Lambeth
