Alternate Space Station names?

I always liked the idea of Homestead (for the first, rudimentary station)and Horizon (as the name of a more permanent, long term presence)for U.S. space station names.

Not from a person at least. Japanese can't stand that. :)

Some reasons why ISS can't have a better name are explained in this thread http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=15098.0
Culture clash - western Vs russian vs japanese...

My own little favourite: Space Station Liberty !

The Freedom space station got her name in 1988 amid a wider list. After 1993 however the name was dropped, first for Alpha - meaning first the russians dislike it because of Mir, the first REAL international space station from their point of view...
