The three stations on the new Circle Line 6 currently have working names, Keppel, Cantonment and Prince Edward.

The public can submit their suggestions here (link to LTA survey page) from now until June 18.

LTA said stations will not be named after public structures or commercial and residential developments.

Public can also propose keeping the working names

However, even better still, the public can also propose to keep the current working names along with a brief rationale to explain their submission, LTA said.

The station names just need to fulfill one of several criteria: Help commuters easily identify where the station is located, illustrate the history and heritage of the station’s location, or reflect Singapore’s multiracial and multicultural identity.

LTA will collate and shortlist names that meet the criteria.

A final list of names will be sent to the Street and Building Names Board for endorsement.

The final MRT station names will be decided via a public polling exercise to be conducted later this year.

But going by Singapore history of naming things (Hint: Budget Terminal), the three current names will most likely stick.

Naming exercises were similarly conducted previously for other MRT stations on the Circle Line, as well as on the Downtown Line and Thomson-East Coast Line.

The 4-km Circle Line 6 will connect HarbourFront station to Marina Bay station when it is scheduled to be completed in 2025.

When completed, the line will have a total of 33 stations, including 12 interchange stations.
