Is it time to replace LU line names with numbers?

i posted this after reading the announcement of the new Overground names. They didn't strike me as being particularly memorable, and I have seen a suggestion that it would have been better to go with O1, O2, etc. having said that, I am not resident in London or a regular visitor, so I would be interested to hear what other people think, especially " locals".
Locals know the system very well and would be massively opposed to a change predominantly aimed at assisting out-of-towners. Having lived in London since 1986 l feel qualified to say that!

I like it when they're named after people. Although I expect there'd be a push for a Churchill line which seems a bit lazy. An Attlee line perhaps?
