I live here and hate the new name. It feels dumb to say it, whereas Bangalore sounds very modern. Kind of like Dilli vs Delhi.

- plibither8 8y agoWho knew you could also feel dumb by calling a city a certain name, and feel modern by calling it another?
- Alterlife 8y agoI live here too. I like the 'new' name, it has grown on me. I think it's endearing and friendly -- like a petname. "Namma Bengaluru" vs stiff-upper-lip British Bangalore. Putting my personal opinion aside, it's definitely not catching on: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=Bengaluru,bangalore https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=Bengaluru,bangalo... I still call it Bangalore in any formal setting.
