WRT station naming, it's not like Vancouver is the first city to have this.
For example, Toronto simply has an St. Clair Station and a St. Clair West Station. Problem solved. The other method is to name it after a local landmark or whatever.

now that you mention it, i guess it's not so bad....afterall, Hong Kong has "Central Station" which is the main business district where all the famous office towers are located (HSBC building, 2IFC, etc.)

Hopefully tunnel construction will get fast tracked and we can get M-Line service to Broadway-City Hall to have a transfer with Canada Line by the 2010 Olympics. It would be so nice to have that and we wouldn't necessarily need to have the Main Street M-Line station complete by then, it could be finished afterward (yet the trains run thru anyways).

i highly doubt that would happen, there's not enough time. Construction would have to start TODAY in order to meet the Olympic deadline. Even at that, it's still a huge risk - would probably be finished just days before the opening ceremony at the earliest if we started today....however, a lot of changes to the Expo Line will be coming by 2010. And the entire SkyTrain and future Canada Line will receive fare gates by then as well.
