I lie to friends, out of embarassment, and say "It is to honor Ted Williams, who lived here.

To name an area with a mere number, might be ok in Cleveland, or  New Mexico, but? in "History laden Cambrige"??  For Gross!!..  I suggest, instead: "Sherman-Garden" for the juncture of those two main arteries, and the gorgeous Fire House there.

The city of Cambridge numbers its neighborhoods, and ours happens to be #9.  Other neighborhoods have names that supersede their number, like Agassiz (Neighborhood 8), but for some reason there's no alternate for #9.  Books from the 1800s refer to the Brattle/Garden area as "Old Cambridge", which would be much better...a point of pride.

I think I'd go with "Raymond Park"- sounds sort of elegant, yes?

I wonder if you could petition the city council in your area to amend the neighborhood listing. I think neighborhood "branding" like that can help make a neighborhood more desirable and memorable. I like the sound of Old Cambridge. I bet a local news story might help get that rebranding off the ground and give the neighborhood a name to be proud of.
