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.
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...
