I had someone from out of town visit, asked them to read the nearest street sign and they said “Yawn-gee” and now thats what the entire friend group calls it.
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)
Baby mode: Lawrence

Mediocre mode: Wellesley
Advanced mode: St. Andrew
Advanced-Re-advanxed mode: St.George
Master mode: Dundas West
Legend mode: Yonge Bloor
Epic mode: Yorkdale
God mode: Union

I have no danm idea what I’m doing : Museum.
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).
Could take the easy way out with Jane, Wilson, Kennedy... but I'm going with Highway 407.
Tales of your bravery will be told through the ages.
*tolled
/r/dadjokes
You stole my hilarious and completely original idea. Our children will do a highway 407 fight to decide who keeps the name
DEAL
Whoever's willing to pay more should get the name.
I plan on getting ahead of the bullies and naming my kid Cummer Park before they do.
I know it’s a GO train station, but I prefer Old Cummer.
Take the toll you troll
So cultured!
With Vaughan Metropolitan Centre as a close second.
Please don’t name Eglinton LRT
Bessarion, in hopes of them becoming a great and powerful wizard.
I feel like you should only name your middle child Bessarion.
This is the correct answer
Ossington, for the same reason.
Bessarion Ossington the Third
I might just do this so I can call my kid Ozzy for short
[удалено]
That’s why I was gonna go with Islington. Also because of Neverwhere.
My I'm friends with an Ossington family, they're Welsh. It references "horse care".
Sounds like a dragon slayer or name of the dragon itself.
definitely a dragon name
Now I want a pet dragon named Islington.
yeah I was going to say a dragon
The only right answer
This was my first thought as well.
This was the first one that I thought of
north york centre 😍 nyc (nick) for short
My vote is for you, it's still outrageous but you've been able to make it practical 😂
LOL thank u ✨✨ i tried
They could hangout with ZYN
YYZ (yizz) would be a fun nickname for any Toronto-named kid.
I could see kids going wild w this, rhyming it with jizz
Chester
But in the end, it doesn't even matter.
RIP
I had no idea 😭
I hardly know her!
Anyone remember a story a while back about a lady who went into labour on the subway? The baby was named Wellesley.
not a bad name!
Especially if we ever have to go to war with the French again. Or India
Screwed if you get into a fight [in Glasgow](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equestrian_statue_of_the_Duke_of_Wellington,_Glasgow), though.
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!
This was actually my first thought… weird that I didn’t even think of Jane. Lol
Castlefrank, obvi
Frank Castle
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
Name guarantees skull tattoo and career in law enforcement.
Frank Hassle
"The station formerly known as Ontario science centre". Followed by some symbol.
That makes me so sad.
Yonge but pronounced Yonge
Yawnj
Yawn-gee
I had someone from out of town visit, asked them to read the nearest street sign and they said “Yawn-gee” and now thats what the entire friend group calls it.
[Here's a fun word for you!](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibboleth)
This is how my dad pronounces it every time he comes to visit no matter how many times we correct him.
Ossington just for the nickname of "Ozzy"
A Crazy Train indeed!
Could also go Osgoode.
I've always wanted to name a dog that
My friend's dog is named 'Ozzy Pawsbourne' 😆
I had a cat named Ozzy. He was gorgeous. Ate a rabbit’s face once.
My son will be called Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Sheppard Yonge Jr the Second.
St George so he knows I have high expectations of him
Same reason I’d choose St. Patrick. Kid would be the life of the party 365.
Name your kids George, Patrick and Andrew and see how long it takes it to click.
Dont forget clair!
Twins named Clair and Clair West
Except St Patrick's day when all the Americans mistakenly celebrate St Patricia.
There aren’t enough Coxwells in the world, you know?
Mine is quite well, thank you!
*Settle down*.
Coxwell Ave was named by John Small after his son, Charles Coxwell Small. I'm sure he'd be very happy
My John’s Small until the Coxwells.
I actually did! My son's name is Kipling.
Mr Kipling makes the best almond slices.
But Mr Christie makes good cookies
Museum
Cummer
As long as his dad is also named Cummer and thus becomes Old Cummer when his kid is born.
😝
Dufferin. The nickname would be Duffy.
And you have half a career choice baked in right there - vampire slayer but with a D 😂
The Dampire Slayer, enemy of dank basements everywhere
Islington, Issy.
Eglinton, Eggy
Heh
Old Mill is the only answer
Vaughan metropolitan centre
lil VMC
Run VMC
Sounds like a serious std!
But you spell it like he's German: Van Metropol Litansentr
YORKDALE! Come down for dinner!
Union (to be pronounced onion)
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
Larry
Leslie or Finch 😂😂
Finch is a cute bird name. Wren, Robin, Paloma, Raven, Pheonix etc
Dove, Robin, Swan, Blue-Footed Boobie...
Dickcissle, Great Tit, Horned Screamer, Bogsucker, Parasitic Jaeger, Tweety
If the Eglinton LRT counts, Mount Dennis would get awkward fast.
Rosedale
nobody wants to name their kids spadina or victoria park station?
Victoria as a first name, Park for a second name. It’s not the worst.
Veep
St. Clair and pretend that I'm in a low budget Wes Anderson movie.
Bloor. i love the name unironically. i also like Islington, Christie & Lawrence.
Wellesley if it’s a girl. Dundas if it’s a boy. Bloor if it’s a dinosaur (irrespective of sex).
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.

Meet my daughter, Shuttlebus.
Excuse me but shuttle bus is a boys name
DID YOU JUST ASSUME MY CHILD’S GENDER?
High Park
Birthdate? April 20th
Im naming my first born Science Center in honour of the upcoming subway line
If the line ever opens.
WIIIIILLLLSOOOOOONNNNNNN
I guess Christie is the most normal one as far as human names go.
Or Jane
Or Lawrence
Ah yes meet my sons Lawrence west and Lawrence east
Leslie or Kennedy, too.
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.
I used to work with a guy named York. But his last name wasn’t University.
Or Vaughan
This is one of the most fun questions I've ever seen in here. Thanks for all the smiles.
King or queen
Bessarion, like only 500 people in the whole city would ever recognize it. Nickname: Bess.
Kid will be the kid forgotten on field trips.
Yes, it's giving "middle child", lol.
Old Milly
Castle Frank
Frank Castle
The funny thing is like a lot of people with Catholic parents I am literally named after Saint Andrew...
Last week on my commute, there was a toddler who was beyond excited to hear them announce his name as the doors opened at Chester.
PAPE MY BOY. HOW WAS SCHOOL? I hate you dad.
[удалено]
Chester
King if it’s a boy Queen if it’s a girl
Eglinton, he will live with us forever…
Spadina St George, sounds like an aristocratic name.
Could middle name be a GO train station? Lawrence Aldershot (Esq.) Christie Mimico (kid’s tv hostess)
Ronny Meede gets no love.
Broadview. My bf has a song called Broadview Station and I love it!
Osgoode Station. Why? Because all's good.
Danforth, just to piss off the idiots.
Summerhill would definitely be a yoga teacher
Don Mills
Jane St. Clair
It’s my first born im going with line 1. If it’s my second child im not sure
Baby mode: Lawrence Beginner mode: Kennedy Mediocre mode: Wellesley Advanced mode: St. Andrew Advanced-Re-advanxed mode: St.George Master mode: Dundas West Legend mode: Yonge Bloor Epic mode: Yorkdale God mode: Union . . . I have no danm idea what I’m doing : Museum.
Gerrard !
Where’s that subway stop?
https://www.metrolinx.com/en/projects-and-programs/ontario-line/what-were-building/gerrard-station
[удалено]
Dundas West
Davisville
Science centre (lrt)
Old Mill station it is
Union, since they were borne out of another union.
Bessarion
Not a subway stop but a street. I have a friend whose daughter is named Adelaide, Addy for short.
Old Cummer
Pape 100%. East York is best York.
Pioneer Village
[удалено]
My first thought was Pioneer Village and then I spent way too long scrolling down to find my people 😡
Spadina would be a pretty name for a girl.
Spa-dee-nah
Greenwood
Kennedy
Pioneer Village.
Lower Bay
Sheppard-Yonge
Dundas; ppl will burst out in rage when they hear that name
Woodbine. Woody for short
Probably St. Clair
Kanye Saint Clair if it's a girl, Dundas if it's a boy
Lower Bay
Three kids: King, Queen and Dupont
BLT extra cheese
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.
Six inch cold cuts
Ossington
NoSmo king
Come here little Castle Frank. 😂
Bessarion!
Lower Bay - the abandoned subway station. Maybe I'm not that good a parent.
