pages to suggest a name for the city that will be formed by the merger of Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch?

Once this is agreed, people will start using it, and the progress towards city status will accelerate as a consequence.

If possible, I’d like to see the competition judged by independent people with expertise in related matters, rather than local politicians (the latter’s record of getting things right has, in recent years, has not been too spectacular).
