I believe the north London station has already (on at least one

Hackney Wick has been renamed "Hackneys Wicked". No apostrophe in
"Hackneys" though. Honestly, what do they teach kids these days.
how do you know it's not an archaically-formed plural noun phrase? there
may be Hackneys wicked, Hackneys good and Hackneys indifferent, but
they're all Hackneys of one sort or another.
Isn't this sub-thread becoming rather hackneyed?
