East Downtown Neighbourhood Name Wanted

This reminds me that you seldom, if ever, hear the descriptor "East Ward" anymore.  Of the four old wards, East always seemed to have the strongest identity, istm.

What about calling it East Village from Cedar Street to Ottawa Street and Rockway from Ottawa Street to the Expressway?
