Is Scotia Place not the least remarkable name imaginable?

Pretty much anything other than "place" would make the name more memorable. You could even call it something stupid like Box, Summit, Bowline, Point, Hall, Crest, practically anything.

Even from a marketing standpoint, you'd think Scotia Bank and/or the Flames would want a name that doesn't completely go in one ear and out the other. The Flames are going from one of the most unique names to the absolute least unique.
It's copying Toronto with Scotia, and copying Edmonton with Place. I do not enjoy copying Toronto and Edmonton, nor do I enjoy associating with them.
