Town says NO to naming building Hairy Balls (even though it's spelled differently)

In Fort Wayne, Ind., in the 1930s and 50s, Mayor Harry Baals was very popular. But city leaders won't name a building after him. The issue is pronunciation. The former mayor pronounced his last name "balls." His descendants have since changed it to "bales." (NPR)



What's YOUR opinion?  Personally, I see no problem Naming the building after the former Mayor.  The people in Ft. Wayne seem a little uptight!  Just sayin!
