... that the London Underground Victoria line was decidedly named so because it "sounded just right"? Source: [from the article] "During the planning stages it was known as Route C, and was then named the Victoria line (after Victoria station) by David McKenna, whose suggestion was seconded by Sir John Elliot. The board decided that the Victoria line sounded 'just right'." (Klapper 1976, p. 123; and Day & Reed 2010, p. 153.)
