Do you know that Big Ben changed a new name?

I knew that the name change had been proposed but I didn't know that they had followed through on it. I think that most of the current generation will continue to call it Big Ben.

hi youless oh I am able to post again. no I did not know that I knew BigBen as a famous landmark In England since I was a kid but Queen Elizabeth 11 oh that sounds wrong, I like Big Ben better too oh I am so happy to be able to respoond again wow. feel like a kid again.

Hello youless. Yes I saw on the news that in honor of Queen Elizabeth II’s 60th year on the throne. Actually Big Ben is the name of the the big bell at the top of the tower that rings out the chimes.. It is the tower that is being named for Elizabeth II. The name of the clock Tower is "The Clock Tower:.

Is it really true? I love the name Big Ben, why do they have to change it. Why not create a new statue or landmark and name Queen Elizabeth II. I don't think the name Queen Elizabeth II fits the clock...kinda odd.

It is interesting that the Big Ben has changed its name,for i didn't heard any news from that.I think the same because the old one has so many years history and much easier to remember.lol,All i want is to see the landmark one day.

I didn't know the name was changed to Queen Elizabeth II.. yeah this new name is kinda odd.. Big Ben sounds grand. I like the old name.. the new name doesn't describe the huge magnificent clock very well.

I totally agree, and I think people are going to continue calling it Big Ben out of habit. Just lime when the sky dome baseball stadium in Toronto was bought up by Rogers communications, and re-named the Rogers centre. People including me, still call it the sky dome, and they always will.

Yes, I think the name Big Ben sounds more comfortable and better fit in the ear of the name now. Big Ben tower changed its name to Elizabeth. I heard the name change was done to honor the queen who celebrated diamond throne, or rather honor, marking 60 years of Queen Elizabeth ascended the throne in the United Kingdom (correction if I'm wrong). Indeed, if the view of the history of the name Big Ben itself, is well known everywhere. But if the name change as the policy of the parliament, there is nothing wrong for not polemical.
