Default Station names

I wish London Underground stations had names that properly
described the area that they were located in, instead of
using obscure street names or some other undescriptive name.
For example, if I had to rename the stations on the
Bakerloo line, I'd have this instead (with a little
help from my A-Z):

Elephant and Castle ---- Walworth North



How about

Penge West ---------- Windsor and Eaton Riverside

Anerley --------- Penge North

Crystal Palace ------- Eiffel

Beckenham Hill ---------- Bellingham sur la Mearde

Edgware Road ---------- Westy Arabia

Hackney Wick --------- Lesser Istanbul

Palmers Green --------- Palmers Greek

Barons Court ---------- New South Zeeland

Chiswick ----------- Pretoria on Thames
