Elizabeth Tower?

Should we really be naming the tower holding Big Ben Elizabeth tower? For me it does not feel right.

Why not? It was renamed "Victoria Tower" to honour the Jubilee of Queen Victoria and then later returned to the earlier name of "South Tower" so there is precedent. Besides, most will still erroneously call the tower "Big Ben".

I think we should maximise its earning potential and sell the naming rights. The Etihad Tower perhaps, or the Red Bull Tower.

You Cynic Ken .
I just feel its rather pointless nad probably will mean a expensive campaign to advertise it, and as we all know the next day all around the world will be calling it Big Ben again.
The other thing is having Ben up the Queen's tower will certainly prompt a few jokes.
