I personally like the name “Freedom Tower”, since it make me think of “Freedom Fries”. In fact, if it were surfaced with a matte gold powder coat, instead of being surfaced with white stone, it would even look like a Freedom Fry.

Howzabout these:

Ain’t Nothing Gonna Keep Us Down ../~…. no, too sacriligious, I suppose.
Rather than Freedom, maybe the Democracy angle would play better – a name like:
Democracy Towers
could work.
Being as this is in New York, something with a local flavor. Maybe:
IGotYourJihadRightHerePal Plaza
or there’s the Movies/Broadway angle:

Regardless, I think one design element should be a big arrow pointing incoming jets towards the UN Building.

To follow up on demimondian’s comment, and to make up for past poor re-naming judgment, there’s always “The French Tower”, or “La Tour Francaise”.

I can’t help thinking that a few years after they build it they’re going to change the name back to ‘French Tower.’

“Freedom Tower” – Made In China
I thought about what else you could name it and I drew a blank. “Tower of Freedom” is less hokey, I think.

I think it should be called the memorial tower. It looks like a giant washington monument to me.

How about we call it the World Trade Center?

Myabe we can call it ‘Andy’s Discount Store’ and hope that the terrorists won’t notice it.

The American way would be to sell the naming rights.
The only thing I would change about it is that I’d really like to have bin Laden’s mouldering skull perched atop the antenna, for perpetuity. With a webcam pointed at it.

How about “Taxpayer Funded Symbolic Construct of Mediocrity?”
My bedroom window looks out on the location where this is going to appear. My personal take is don’t fucking bother – we don’t need it. Manhattan has adjusted. If the rest of the country can’t, screw them. Not like they ever liked New Yorkers in the first place.
