and call it Barack Obama National Airport, henceforth and forever. Currently it bears a foul name which I will not repeat in gentle company.

4. It's still Washington National Airport to me.
I don't share the inclination to name everything from all the high schools and extension bridges from coast-to-coast AND your next-door-neighbor's bellybutton lint after ronald reagan. Just the same as it's still the Simi Valley Freeway to me. I could see maybe naming a prison or mental hospital or some such thing after him.

5. ditto... I drive airport staff nuts in refusing to use the other name

and actually insisting they do not as well in our interaction. With older staff, they sort of knowingly oblige and often with a appreciative nod, but it is harder with those in their 20's, who just look at you like you are crazy...;)

7. Lol...that would literally drive MANY people insane.
I vote "yes"!

Barack Hussein Obama International Airport. The alternative is to have it referred to as BO Airport or BONA.
