Its even worse in the suburbs. Just look at the Orange Line which now starts at Vienna/Fairfax and passes through such descriptively named stations as Dunn Lorning/Merrifield, West Falls Church/VT-UVA, Ballston/Marymount University, and Virginia Square/GMU on its way to the city. I'm just waiting for them to rename Rosslyn something like Rosslyn/Georgetown to equal Dunn Lorning/Merrifeild or Vienna/Fairfax in descriptiveness.
