Given this new station on the H&C seems to be literally a stones throw
from White City on the central , wouldn't it have made more sense to
call it white city rather than having another daft Bank-Monument
situation?

An alternative view is that White City should be revert to its old name
given that the stadium is long gone.

Seems sensible. Though is that area now known as white city to the
locals? Anyway , having 2 stations seperated by 50 metres being given
different names seems absurd especially since Hammersmith station on
the H&C shares its name with Hammersmith on the District & Piccadilly
even though they're physically separate.

The area is called White City, and the area inside Australia Rd is called 
the White City Estate.

Wood Lane, on the other hand, is the name of roads in Highgate, Stanmore and 
Kingsbury: Also, the southern end of Wood La W12 will have Shepherds Bush as 
its nearest station, so Wood Lane is a bad name for the new station. 
However, I suspect the fire brigade don't want the new station to be called 
White City.

As they're two physically separate stations, it's more of a Bow Road /
Bow Church situation.

Er.. White City (Central Line) opened as White City in 1947. What could it 
revert to?

Are you thinking of the earlier H&C White City (ex Wood Lane) behind the 
BBC?

Or Hammersmith/Hammersmith?

Or Shepherds Bush/Shepherds Bush, or Paddington/Paddington, or Edgware 
Road/Edgware Road...

Mind you, I still think they should go back to calling Charing Cross 
(Bakerloo) Trafalgar Square...But that'd create another Bank/Monument 
situation. ;-)
