Wolastoq Regional Municipality would be ideal, imo.
People in the outlying suburbs have very negative connotations regarding Saint John, and would want nothing to do with being part of a municipality called Saint John. Wolastoq Regional Municipality; however, would be a slightly more palatable pill for them to swallow.
Plus it’s not like establishing the WRM would wipe Saint John, Rothesay, Quispamsis, etc, off the map. They’d still exist as constituent communities within the municipality, but the Wolastoq name for the entire region would definitely help lessen the Saint John—St. John’s confusion.
