It's a prediction contest, so...
• just one suggestion, for one station, per person.
• first person with the name claims it.
• don't leave the 'Name' box blank.

I think OKR1 should be Burgess Park (because having a park in the name always makes an area sound good) and OKR2 should just be Old Kent Road (because using a familiar Monopoly board name for the one further from London makes it feel less distant and less daunting)

North Peckham - I'd put a fiver on that !

Peckham Gateway (silly name, but the sort of thing that a property developer that can be bludgeoned into giving funds to TfL might come up with)

Option A is sort of opposite the site of the former Old Kent Road bus garage, and I think on the site of the canal (still called Canal Bridge, although it went during road widening in the early 90s, the canal is shown in this video at 3:44 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rJjg3pmbo4&t=236s), this is the more likely to be the 'official' Old Kent Road.

Looking at the locality, Asylum would be great (but unlikely).

I'd have suggested South Bermondsey if there wasn't already a mainline station in the area... North Peckham or Peckham North seem sensible alternatives.

Livesey, the name of the ward. Or Gas Works - for the property developers :)

Peckham Park - if using the northern station site. Makes it sound much nicer than it actually is, named after nearby road.

I'm going to make a wilder guess and go for 'Commercial Way' for OKR 2B (on the basis of that being the name of the nearest bus stop)

At first I fancy "Camelot" after a nearby school, but I agree that "Peckham North" or "Peckham Park" are both more sensible for a heavy rail station.

2b is very handy for the Southwark recycling and composting centre. It is also very handy for some tower blocks. So I am going to call it the Lake District.

With New Bermondsey station seemingly on the backburner, how about New New Bermondsey

Kentish Drovers - for opt.2
After the three centuries old ex-pub nearby, signifying the area's rural history.

Old Road of Kent
(to reflect the traditional name for residents of East Kent)
The thoroughfare is, of course, actually in the old county of Surrey, the boundary with Kent being between New Cross Gate and New Cross.

Not going to happen, but there's a nearby pocket park & road of the same name. Has a nice rural feel to it (the name, not the road).

The next consultation is out, and it looks like we're down to a shortlist of two...
Old Kent Road (solar penguin)
or
Asylum (nobody)
