Ten names for the Toronto Super City
With the amalgamation of municipalities and the formation of the Toronto super-city here are my top ten suggested names.
10. Metropolis - We can call it Metro for short. Superman fans will recognize this as the city where Superman lives (as Clark Kent). Metropolis is not yet on any map - just think of the tourism and endorsement possibilities as 'The hometown of Superman.'
9. Newer York - York was the original name for Toronto. It would be gauche to visit New York when you can go to Newer York. (Like new improved.) Added bonus - we could buy used police vehicles from New York and keep the NYPD logo.
8. Hollywood - How many times have you heard it referred to as Hollywood of the North? Go ahead. Make my day.
7. The Good - It's been called Toronto the Good - why not? Then pick who are The Bad and the Ugly this month.
6. Global Village - Every international company would need an office in the Global Village. What a boost for real estate.
5. Universe City - The next alien invasion would naturally be here. What respectable galactic conqueror would trash Washington when Universe City is the real plum? Maybe even Godzilla would pay us a visit.
4. Big Smoke - With everyone smoking outside the front doors of buildings.
3. Pond - One, because of Lake Ontario and two, because Vaughn could advertise itself as being 'On (Anne) Golden pond'.
2. Otnorot - This is Toronto spelled backwards. Then we could justify doing things backwards.
1. (This space for rent) - We are selling names to subways stations, libraries and universities. Think of all the money we could get for renting out the name of the city.
For example; Wal-Mart city, Canadian Tire town, MacDonalds municipality.
