I suggested 

Manor House = Woodberry Grove
Turnpike Lane = Ducketts Common
Wood Green = Spouters Corner

Bounds Green ???

Arnos Grove = Bowes Road
Southgate = Chase Side
Oakwood = Enfield West
Cockfosters = Trent Park

How about Bounds Green = "Normal" see this discussion

... or in a RyanAir style airport naming approach - we might call it "Muswell Hill" even though it's a few miles away.
Judging by the hundreds of people who leave the tube and get on a 102 up the hill that's where they want to be.

A similar idea via Twitter:

@BowesandBounds How about "Muswell Valley", for those Muswell Hill commuters.

Thanks Richard, but John is right of course.  There is a precedent, because Bounds Green station isn't actually in Bounds Green - according to the residents association. 

If we could get away with it, Muswell Bottom might be quite memorable.

Another Twitter suggestion.

@BowesandBounds It was originally going to be Brownlow Rd, which would've continued to be in Bowes Pk instead of thinking it's Bounds Gn
