The most exciting neighbourhood creation concept to hit South Africa, NameYourHood, is in full swing. The first two neighbourhoods under the microscope enjoyed over 400 names submitted over the last month. The NameYourHood panel painstakingly whittled that list down to 10 names per neighbourhood and now it’s time to vote! The final name chosen for each ‘hood’ is entirely down to this final public vote! Once that is done, they’re on to the next two neighbourhoods!
I personally LOVE the name “BeBoKa” for the area “Below Bo Kaap.” So if you also dig it, then go and vote for it now! Or maybe you like another one? Check out the names for the first two hoods below. You can find a full explanation (motivation) for each name at nameyourhood.co.za.
