Speaking of renaming, I've disliked the name of Liverpool Street for a
long time, mostly because quite a few stations have direct trains to
London Liverpool Street and Liverpool Lime Street, although fortunately
Stansted is apparently no longer among them. (Ross Ancromarty used to
say that every time he operated a train out of Stansted he would give
one last warning that the train was going to Liverpool rather than
London, and some people would always get off.) It occurred to me that
Broadgate is not a bad name for the main station, and then the Crossrail
station could be called Broadgate Moorgate.
Given that the main entrance to the station fronts onto Liverpool
Street, and always has done, it's a perfectly sensible name for the
eponymous station!

Liverpool Street is a bit of a non-entity of a street though. I suspect
that far more people use the Bishopsgate entrance.
