Why not Bethnal Green South? It's still in Bethnal Green, though in

Oh yeah. http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/election-maps/gb/

Most of the people coming south on the Hackney Downs line who want
"Bethnal Green" would be better off alighting at Cambridge Heath
rather than BG-NR. Most people coming from Liverpool Street who want
"Bethnal Green" would get the tube instead. So a name based on
Bethnal Green has limited functionality, compared to a name based on
Whitechapel. The other option is "Spitalfields" or "East
Spitalfields", but I don't know the area well enough to know if that
name might be downright misleading.

What's wrong with Whitechapel North?

I take your points but rather a lot of railway assets round there have
Bethnal Green in their names, that's all.
