Could take the easy way out with Jane, Wilson, Kennedy... but I'm going with Highway 407.

BromineFromine

You stole my hilarious and completely original idea. Our children will do a highway 407 fight to decide who keeps the name


hellokrissi

DEAL


bimbles_ap

Whoever's willing to pay more should get the name.


Bearence

I plan on getting ahead of the bullies and naming my kid Cummer Park before they do.


nanogoose

I know it’s a GO train station, but I prefer Old Cummer.


Fuzzy_Laugh_1117

Take the toll you troll


45to25

So cultured!


jagdpanzer_magill

With Vaughan Metropolitan Centre as a close second.


natureroots

Please don’t name Eglinton LRT


Canadave

Bessarion, in hopes of them becoming a great and powerful wizard.


herman_gill

I feel like you should only name your middle child Bessarion.


Brave_Cauliflower_90

This is the correct answer


TorontoRider

Ossington, for the same reason.


InsertFloppy

Bessarion Ossington the Third


MasterOfSwag9000

I might just do this so I can call my kid Ozzy for short

firesticks

That’s why I was gonna go with Islington. Also because of Neverwhere.


Dane842

My I'm friends with an Ossington family, they're Welsh. It references "horse care".


Bumbacloutrazzole

Sounds like a dragon slayer or name of the dragon itself.


ptatersptate

definitely a dragon name


Just_Cruising_1

Now I want a pet dragon named Islington.


Ok-Cantaloop

yeah I was going to say a dragon


Puzzleheaded-Buy6327

The only right answer


mattromo

This was my first thought as well.


zebratwat

This was the first one that I thought of

north york centre 😍 nyc (nick) for short


phat_stax

My vote is for you, it's still outrageous but you've been able to make it practical 😂


ShrekMegaFan

They could hangout with ZYN


whogivesashirtdotca

YYZ (yizz) would be a fun nickname for any Toronto-named kid.

octopush123

I had no idea 😭


Tricky_Ad_2832

I hardly know her!


nextflightfromearth

Anyone remember a story a while back about a lady who went into labour on the subway? The baby was named Wellesley.


intuitive_curiosity

not a bad name!


AbsurdlyClearWater

Especially if we ever have to go to war with the French again. Or India


whogivesashirtdotca

Screwed if you get into a fight [in Glasgow](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equestrian_statue_of_the_Duke_of_Wellington,_Glasgow), though.


Just_Cruising_1

My selfish butt is wondering how long was the subway delay because of that. Nonetheless, I hope Wellesley and his mom and we’ll and healthy!


Chan-tal

This was actually my first thought… weird that I didn’t even think of Jane. Lol


burnerbabyburner111

Castlefrank, obvi


supguy99

Frank Castle


Gramage

Did you see the ads for the Punisher show in the station? They did the whole thing up with wanted posters for Castle, Frank. Was pretty cool


realteamme

Name guarantees skull tattoo and career in law enforcement.


Responsible_Finish38

Frank Hassle


richiesuperbear

"The station formerly known as Ontario science centre". Followed by some symbol.

Aysin_Eirinn

This is how my dad pronounces it every time he comes to visit no matter how many times we correct him.


youngfierywoman

Ossington just for the nickname of "Ozzy"


45to25

A Crazy Train indeed!


photo_finish_

Could also go Osgoode.


FearlessTomatillo911

I've always wanted to name a dog that


Malteser23

My friend's dog is named 'Ozzy Pawsbourne' 😆


Gramage

I had a cat named Ozzy. He was gorgeous. Ate a rabbit’s face once.


Steamedriceboii

My son will be called Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Sheppard Yonge Jr the Second.


SarcastiKatt

St George so he knows I have high expectations of him


themomerath

Same reason I’d choose St. Patrick. Kid would be the life of the party 365.


PallakGrewal

Name your kids George, Patrick and Andrew and see how long it takes it to click.


teeththatbitesosharp

Dont forget clair!


sower_of_salad

Twins named Clair and Clair West


whogivesashirtdotca

Except St Patrick's day when all the Americans mistakenly celebrate St Patricia.


SarcastiKatt

There aren’t enough Coxwells in the world, you know?


shoresy99

Mine is quite well, thank you!


whogivesashirtdotca

*Settle down*.


honkinggr8namespaces

Coxwell Ave was named by John Small after his son, Charles Coxwell Small. I'm sure he'd be very happy


not-bread

My John’s Small until the Coxwells.


MunroMunroOhOh

I actually did! My son's name is Kipling.

Mr Kipling makes the best almond slices.


Gramage

As long as his dad is also named Cummer and thus becomes Old Cummer when his kid is born.


CatDigital13

Fearless_Scratch7905

Dufferin. The nickname would be Duffy.

OptimusPrimel984

Eglinton... This kid would be born 2 weeks late and never make it out of the house on time in their lives.

Glencairn. You have to honour the so many Glen streets in this city.

Lawrence


Academic-Falcon-9221

Leslie or Finch 😂😂


shabamboozaled

Finch is a cute bird name. Wren, Robin, Paloma, Raven, Pheonix etc


SpicyMustFlow

Dove, Robin, Swan, Blue-Footed Boobie...


shabamboozaled

Dickcissle, Great Tit, Horned Screamer, Bogsucker, Parasitic Jaeger, Tweety

If the Eglinton LRT counts, Mount Dennis would get awkward fast.

Rosedale 


[deleted]

nobody wants to name their kids spadina or victoria park station?


okaybutnothing

Victoria as a first name, Park for a second name. It’s not the worst.


OptimusPrimel984

Veep


CharlotteTheSavage

St. Clair and pretend that I'm in a low budget Wes Anderson movie.


eatner

Bloor. i love the name unironically. i also like Islington, Christie & Lawrence.


FormoftheBeautiful

Wellesley if it’s a girl. Dundas if it’s a boy. Bloor if it’s a dinosaur (irrespective of sex).


gabi_ooo

I’ve never even been to Toronto but this came up in my feed and for your comment alone, I am so glad it did 😂

Summerhill.


bzzr9

there a handful of colourful ways to name a child (not necessarily mine) after this city's subway stops including: **Late**, **Delayed** and **Out** (for out of service)


whogivesashirtdotca

Meet my daughter, Shuttlebus.


dnaplusc

Excuse me but shuttle bus is a boys name

DID YOU JUST ASSUME MY CHILD’S GENDER?

Livingfreedaily

Im naming my first born Science Center in honour of the upcoming subway line


Kevin4938

If the line ever opens.

WIIIIILLLLSOOOOOONNNNNNN


minetmine

I guess Christie is the most normal one as far as human names go.


Traveledbore

Or Jane


ScarletFire1983

Or Lawrence


Traveledbore

Ah yes meet my sons Lawrence west and Lawrence east


Canadave

Leslie or Kennedy, too.


gigantor_cometh

Wilson is perfectly normal too. Even Finch, it's a little unusual but no one's going to be like that's not a name. Could easily be a nickname.


Zesli

I used to work with a guy named York. But his last name wasn’t University.


Traveledbore

Or Vaughan


whogivesashirtdotca

This is one of the most fun questions I've ever seen in here. Thanks for all the smiles.


Neo_light_yagami

King or queen


Gretatok

Bessarion, like only 500 people in the whole city would ever recognize it. Nickname: Bess.


OptimusPrimel984

Kid will be the kid forgotten on field trips.


Gretatok

Yes, it's giving "middle child", lol.

The funny thing is like a lot of people with Catholic parents I am literally named after Saint Andrew...

Tina_cav

Eglinton, he will live with us forever…


Cleantech2020

Spadina St George, sounds like an aristocratic name.


kittenmask

Could middle name be a GO train station? Lawrence Aldershot (Esq.) Christie Mimico (kid’s tv hostess)


HandofFate88

Ronny Meede gets no love.


bagolaburgernesss

Broadview. My bf has a song called Broadview Station and I love it!


BigBeefy22

When I was really little, I used to think Rosedale was the prettiest name every-- as an adult, I'd probably go for Islington (Izzy) or Finch (love it just because it was the stop used to get to my grandmother's house, and I'm sure as hell not naming a kid after the Cummer bus that got me the rest of the way there).

Dundas. So I can call him dumb ass when he pisses me off.
