Sure, 'Freedom Tower', it's a bit cheesy. But, COME ON, we have the fricking 'Statue of Liberty' in the harbor. How cheesy is that? Let go of the name, it'll grow on you eventually. Or at least on your kids or grand kids. There were people a hundred years ago complaining about how silly the French statue was but thankfully it was installed anyway. Actually ,as I recall, they had a great deal of trouble securing funds for the pedestal (which the Americans were responsible for) because the wealthy of Manhattan hated the thought of that gaudy statue. And so the statue sat in parts for years before being finally erected.

So my point is that yeah, the 'Freedom Tower' is a bit over the top, but don't be like those sad louts who wouldn't put up money for the 'Statue of Liberty' because they thought they were too good for it. Time proved them wrong.
