Didn't Chinatown used to be mainly Jewish? But I guess that wouldn't have the best ring to it.

So long as it's not Bathurst South and Spadina South.

Are there any major churches near the locations of the stations?
They could go the same route as St Patrick and St Andrew stations.

We need a station in Cabbagetown!
Those were named after wards more so than just the church.
There is the Fu Sien Tong Buddhist Temple down the road. And the big church that blocks Adelaide continuing through Bathurst. I can't see this happening these days.

I’d go with Garrison for King/Bathurst myself. It references the nearby Garrison Creek and Garrison Crossing, and gives a nod to Fort York, for which it’d be the closest transit station.

I like Garrison too!

I actually like Fort York as a name for the station-- it's about as close to Fort York as Pioneer Village station is to the actual Pioneer Village. Aligns with naming the stations after major attractions nearby (Museum, Exhibition, Science Centre).

The station names should have the main intersections under the names

I wonder if the Queen and Yonge station will be called Toronto Eaton's Centre

It will remain Queen with a high degree of certainty imo.

I believe Queen would have to be renamed to "Queen-Yonge" to match the Yonge-Bloor and Sheppard-Yonge station naming schemes. Same deal with Pape, being renamed to Pape-Bloor.

As far as I know Metrolinx policy is to keep the existing name of the interchange. Which is why "Yonge Station" on the Eglinton Line is, bizarrely, going to be just called Eglinton Station.

Well, in that case, Metrolinx needs to rethink their policy. Yonge-Eglinton is the more logical name for that station and in tune with existing naming convention of Sheppard-Yonge and Yonge-Bloor.
Osgoode station makes sense to keep the same name as it is named after a location in the vicinity of the station.
Same deal with Science Centre station, though, that station needs to be renamed as Flemingdon Park station is much closer to the Science Centre and makes more sense to be named as Science Centre. That's a different conversation.

... Queen Station should just get renamed to City Hall.

Would've been preferable if they had repeated the Yonge-Bloor and Bloor-Yonge pattern with intersecting lines.
