Does anyone know the origins of Docklands Light Railway Station

Most of them are obvious (Stratford or Crossharbour for instance).
Of the more esoteric ones Mudchute is the one most people ask about.
It's near a raised public park that resulted from the earth from the
digging out of the docks on the Isle of Dogs being dumped (*chuted*)
Original plan was to call Mudchute Millwall Dock.
The residents feared that Millwall fans would turn up, and unable to
find the football ground turn nasty!
