BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2021 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The Boca Resort, which has been known locally as “The Boca Resort” for half a century, is changing its name. It will now be known as “The Boca Raton”
Let that sink in for a minute.
They took the name of the city, put “The” in front of it, and now you have the new name of the resort.
Here’s the issue as we see it: it’s going to be confusing for people when you talk about “The Boca Raton Police Department” — are you talking about security at the hotel or professional law enforcement? “The Boca Raton Beach.” Are you talking about a beach in Boca, or sand and water near the hotel?
How about, “The Boca Raton Trash Problem.” There isn’t a problem that we know of, but you see the hazard of naming your private resort after a municipality.
Then there’s the problem of just sounding really old in a place where many people are really old. “Did you read what they wrote on The Twitter?” “Did you read what someone wrote on The Facebook?” “Did you hear Saul died of The COVID?!”
Adding “The” to something isn’t chic. It’s, well, let’s just say it isn’t chic.
Here’s the official press release which we don’t traditionally run for a for-profit company but we are today, because you can’t make this stuff up, and “The BocaNewsNow.com” is so connected, we just let this go.
