D.C. leaders are designating a new area name to the city’s geography, just in case keeping track of the 100-plus neighborhood names was too easy.

Keeping in the trend of ripping off the uber-trendy name of New York City’s SoHo neighborhood, leaders on Saturday are designating 18th Street between California Street and Florida Avenue as “SoMo,” or south Adams Morgan. SoMo will join other wanna-be-SoHo monikers NoMa, the neighborhood designation for the area North of Massachusetts Avenue, FoBo, the nickname for Foggy Bottom, and probably others that we’re not hip enough to know about yet.
