Tradition should mean something. Leave it as Big Ben, and name something else for the Queen
I agree. There has to be many other items that can be named after her. I have no problem with maybe new buildings being named in her honor as I think she deserves it, but not something like “Big Ben”.

The Queen is the titular (no snickering) head of state and serves as a symbol of the nation. Consider, Charles, Di, and some of the other royals. Consider Bill and Hillary, Jiminy Carter, Joe Biden and all of the Obamas.
What she has done is conduct herself with dignity, class, discretion and some charm. She acts in a manner befitting her office, that brings credit to her nation. What more could she do? (Okay, besides having Boris Johnson beheaded and Robert Fisk clapped in irons in the Tower of London.)

That's a good idea. I think "Big Betty" has quite a ring to it!

“I’ve often thought of that myself.”
I am glad I am not the only one! You put it succinctly when you said the “serf” mentality. I agree. You just don’t breed that out in a century.

The correct name of the tower (as opposed to the bell) is St.Stephen’s Tower.

Why can’t people just leave well enough alone?
Nobody will remember to call it “Big Liz” it will always be “Big Ben”

I think “Big Betty” is really memorable, but that’s just one man’s opinion.
