Maybe the visitors need a voice?

Techniquest is one of Britain's oldest and most successful science centres. 
When it first opened in the late 80's I remember thinking, "I really don't 
like that name. Who chose that name?" (Sorry Techniquest!)

Later I heard that the founders of the project had somehow assembled a list 
of names then carried out a survey asking local people which they 
preferred. 'Techniquest' was the clear winner. And it has worked.

Come to think of it, I quite like the name...
