Historical injustices are sometimes overturned. But I doubt this will be one of them. So I'd settle for either the Benton Street or the Young Street stops to be called Berlin.
Naming stops after things that are not streets makes it harder to find your way around an unfamiliar city, unless the stop refers to the neighbourhood or something. Many of Montreal's metro stations are named after nearby streets (although there's usually a choice of which street).
