Democracy in name only

Waterfront Toronto has revealed the short list of submissions to rename Sherbourne Park which can be voted on by the public.

Some are painfully generic: Bayfront Village Green, Blue Edge Park, Merchant's Wharf Park, Waterside Park.

Others are simply unmarketable: Kanadario Park, Ridout Park, Tkaronto Park.

The best is probably Sherbourne Commons, which begs the question: why rename Sherbourne Park?

This does not beg the question as you are not implicitly assuming the proposition in the premise.

It's the modern usage, not the logical usage.
