Here are the name finalists:
• Sweet Stone Chicago
• No ORDinary Rock
• Chicago Rocks
• O'Rock
• Orchard Rock
• Da Rock
"No ORDinary Rock" and "Orchard Rock" are the winners for me. They both pay tribute to how O'Hare got its IATA airport code in the 1940s, when it was called Orchard Field.
So deciding between the two, Orchard Rock is my pick! It's subtle, but the plaque can explain it.
I like "Orchard Rock" because it's not some stupid reddit'ism.
Just call it "Dwayne Johnson"?
Then in generations to some, old people can explain that Dwayne Johnson was the King of Wrestling and then became King of Hollywood.
Naming things after living people is bad luck
So they completely ignored the discoverer's suggestion. Humbug.
I like 'Da Rock' because it reminds me of da orks from Warhammer 40K
Surprised to see `ExtraORDinary Rock` missing => 50-tons, that's got to meet the bar for extraordinary.
Shakin my damn head where is "Rock and Roll McDonald"
How is 'BDU' not the top choice?
Beanie’s Baby
Wish I saw some of the larger list. This still seems weak.
ORD as an acronym? O Rock D
O’Hare Rock Dolostone O’Hare Runway Dolomite
Rocky.
Da Dolo
O Rock Damn.
Ditka
I like it. Ditka Rock has a certain ring to it.
