It's just more confusion and lack of logic or any ounce of thought/foresight put into any of this.

Hey. if it's good enough for NJ...

The Amboys
The Brunswicks
The Oranges
The Caldwells
The Plainfields
The Ridgefields
The Wildwoods

The bottom line is this silliness of thinking a name change, whether it be for a city or a thoroughfare, is going to make its stock rise. It's just putting lipstick on a pig, and people investing in it are simply creating a distraction. I agree with the mayor.
Look how much it did for Metropolitan Avenue...

And the name Allen-McGill is already taken as it is the name of the neighborhood/Downtown district clustered around the intersection of Ivan Allen Boulevard, Ralph McGill Boulevard, and Peachtree Street (boundaries: west of the Buttermilk Bottom neighborhood/district, north of Baker Street, east of Techwood Drive/William Street, south of North Avenue). Everyone knows this.

You already used that, sir.


Allen-McGill
A Downtown Atlanta district/neighborhood clustered around the intersection of Ivan Allen Boulevard, Ralph McGill Boulevard, and Peachtree Street. The district/neighborhood is bounded by Buttermilk Bottom to the east, Baker Street and the Hotel District to the south, Techwood Drive/William Street to the west, and Midtown to the north. Some key landmarks of the neighborhood are: the soon-to-be-renamed Allen-McGill MARTA station, Allen Plaza, and the proposed iconic statues of Ivan Allen and Ralph McGill at their namesake intersection.

ITA. They don't need to overthink it and just need a plain vanilla name because once it's done it can't be changed--something that is hated by the least number of people. I do think they need something other than South Fulton because I do think they need to define themselves more as a distinct city since they've already got the crazy borders working against them. But South Fulton is far superior to Renaissance and some of the other gimmicky options.

I like either Campbellton or Wolf Creek.

I see you are preparing a Wikipedia page for it

Wolf Creek? That's trading one hotel for another.
