Maybe not One and Two WTC, but they were known as the World Trade Center just as much as the Twin Towers.

Quote:
The Empire State Building is named in celebration of the Empire State, New York, so named for its vast resources and wealth. When was the last time anyone objected to how "jingoisic" that name is?
Did I not make the same basic point when I brought up the Statue of Liberty?

And perhaps Freedom Tower is a more noble name than Empire State Building, but I still think it's stupid and jingoistic.
