Except
"World Trade Center" refers to the whole complex. When the other three towers are built and your kid asks "What is the one with the four spikes on top" and you answer... "That's the World Trade Center" You're going to have one confused kid on your hands.
The building will be called whatever people personally call it. Despite what some members here (who obviously have OCD) think, there are no
Name Police all over the world issuing citations to people who use a nickname for 1 World Trade Center. It may be a pet peeve of these members, and they can fume all they want, but they can't enforce what people call it.
Get a grip, most Americans couldn't point to Libya on a Globe, let alone the state that borders their own. I think you are the last people to correct anyone. So if someone somewhere wants to call this tower by a name (That, I'd like to point out, it had officially gone by until a name change a while back) then so be it. How many of you
Name Police still called Prince "Prince" even though he changed his name to that symbol thing. Even P Diddy (Or whatever he goes by these days) will turn and say hello if you call him Puff Daddy.
To quote Shakespeare's Juliete:
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
