I suspect the six names that got closest to being chosen were

- Jayaben

- Keskidee

- Malins

- Sisterwrite

- Althea

- Obaala

...because TfL went to the unusual effort of publishing a blog post about them in February last year, on the same day the actual six names were announced.

The Chartists line, a shame that didn’t get through to remind me of gcse history every time I traveled on.

Coleridge line is presumably after the poet? It’s a shame that artists/writers/designers aren’t reflected more in the actual names nor the rejected ones.
