Other Names
Although "Henman Hill" remains the most widely used name for the area, the terrace's name tends to change depending on which British player is participating. During Greg Rusedski matches, the area was sometimes called Rusedski Ridge.
Since Henman's retirement in 2007, the area was colloquially renamed after current British number one, Andy Murray, with suggestions such as Murray Mound, Mount Murray, Murray Mountain and Murrayfield (in reference to the stadium in Edinburgh of the same name). The name "Henman Hill" is still used by the BBC and other media in reference to the area. In 2009, Tim Henman stated on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross that he had agreed with Andy Murray it is still "Henman Hill". Henman joked that " can have all those grand slams he's going to win but I'm keeping my hill".
In more recent years, tennis pundits have suggested referring to the hill as Robson Ridge or Heather Hill to coincide with matches played by Laura Robson and Heather Watson.

Famous quotes containing the word names:
“The world is a puzzling place today. All these banks sending us credit cards, with our names on them. Well, we didn’t order any credit cards! We don’t spend what we don’t have. So we just cut them in half and throw them out, just as soon as we open them in the mail. Imagine a bank sending credit cards to two ladies over a hundred years old! What are those folks thinking?”
—Sarah Louise Delany (b. 1889)
“The instincts of merry England lingered on here with exceptional vitality, and the symbolic customs which tradition has attached to each season of the year were yet a reality on Egdon. Indeed, the impulses of all such outlandish hamlets are pagan still: in these spots homage to nature, self-adoration, frantic gaieties, fragments of Teutonic rites to divinities whose names are forgotten, seem in some way or other to have survived mediaeval doctrine.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
