What did you want to call it?
He steered me an a friend away from our first choice of a name for a new route back in the early 90s (an exchange of letters on SMC headed notepaper on his part!). In that case we accepted that the name could possibly be offensive to some and changed it for a more classic sounding one quite happily.
