[quote=Anonymous]The name is terrible. A few thoughts and comments. 1) the voters chose New Columbia. Can the Council change it without voter approval? 2) The phrase "Douglas Commonwealth" is awkward because Doungas is a noun, not an adjective, and standard construction is "Commonwealth of Virginia ". The council is opening itself to jokes about how they are semi-literate DCPS grads. 3) if the most important thing is to honor Douglas, at least choose something that sounds stately. 4) if the most important thing is to keep the name "Washington, D.C." just keep it. We can take the periods out of D.C. and just make it DC. Companies do this all the time when they want to keep the acronym but drop the underlying meaning because their business has changed. Vent over. My SO confided that incompetence like this is why he voted against the recdrendum.[/quote]
