Default Shepherd's Bush Market, Wood Lane - H&C line developments

I note from the TfL 2010 map the change to the name of Shepherd's Bush
H&C station to Shepherd's Bush Market, which IMO is a very sensible
development to reflect the distinct nature of the surrounding area and
also the separateness from the Central/"London Overground" (still feels
weird saying that!) station at the other end of Shepherd's Bush Green.

On the other hand, it seems that by calling the new H&C line station
"Wood Lane", TfL/LU are missing a trick. In an age where connectivity
is apparently all I can't help but feel that this passes up a great
chance to publicly embed a new H&C/Central line interchange by
referring to the new station as "White City", even if the connection
'twixt the two stations is on-street as in the case of Hammersmith
(which itself surely suggests that the approach to the new station's
name is inconsistent with current practice).
