What's in a name?

[Hibbyradge]

The public will be asked to decide the name of the new Forth bridge. Any suggestions?

I haven't put much thought to it yet, but I reckon there should be 2 names.

One for coming towards Edinburgh and one for heading to Fife. :wink:

The Third Forth Bridge.

[Twa Cairpets]

The Third Forth Bridge.

Its actually the Fifth Forth if you count the Kincardine and Clackmannanshire bridges

[Jones28]

The Queen Elizabeth Golden Jubilee Bridge...:greengrin

Hmm. "The Fifth Forth Crossing If You Count The Kincardine and Clackmannanshire Bridges" would be a very expensive road sign. It would also probably be translated into Gaelic which means it would be huge and a wind liability.

The Over Budget Bridge

Free to get into Fife

£175.00 to get into Edinburgh

I was still chuckling about this 10 minutes after I read it!

Forth Bridge 2.0

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Rangers FC Memorial Bridge - the thought of people "crossing" it everyday would have them turning in their graves!

[Eyrie]

Since it is to replace the Forth Road Bridge it should be the Fifth Road Bridge.


The Queen Elizabeth Golden Jubilee Bridge...:greengrin
Cue demands from the separatists that it be named after our Glorious Leader :greengrin

Sixth? Is there no one at Stirling?

[greenlex]

The best I've heard was from one sceptic who doesn't think we need another bridge.
"Bridge over the river. Why?"

You've gone too far.

[Pete]

I don't know why they don't just call it "Road bridge 2". It's an inanimate object and the name should only really be about distinguishing it from the original bridge.

You could call it "The goblet of fire bridge" or even "Steve" but all I would care about is what turn off I take to get to it.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

The Leigh Griffiths Suspension Bridge

[Hibrandenburg]

Maybe I watch too much Scooby Doo or something but I think we should call it the "Bridge of Death". Got a nice ring to it.

[Lucius Apuleius]

Maybe even more than one. :-)

The Bridge With No Name Bridge.

[Pretty Boy]

The 'Greens arnae happy, Labour are moaning aboot the cost, naebody in Scotland cares what the Tories are saying and the SNP are pretending it was Salmonds idea all along' Bridge has a nice ring to it.

Well make it the 'fourth forth road bridge' since the other is a rail bridge.

:aok: Very good, Cornelius :wink:

My choice?
"Brig o' Doom" would seem appropriate given how black the future looks
