In Christopher Saxton's map of Sussex, Kent, Surrey and Middlesex dated 1575, Brighton was called Brighthelm Stone.

Hove did not then appear to exist.

Today, we have the City of Brighton and Hove. Using the above precedent of how names change in time, I suggest to Brighton and Hove City Council the name of Brighthoven.

Brighthoven would at one stroke bind the two town names together as one idea for the City of Brighthoven without either place losing its original identity or status.

The historical importance, too, of the changes and developments of the last 500 years would be clearly indicated in the name of Brighthoven.
