District of Columbia becomes a state--- what should it be called?

Or KFC. But that’s exactly what I proposed way upthread, that it officially doesn’t have to stand for anything, or we just call it “DC” in most printed references to the state, even though it technically is “Douglass Commonwealth,” much like we used “Rhode Island” for “Rhode Island and Providence Planations.” I don’t see any issue with this, and I think a form that preserves the “DC” postal abbreviation is the most elegant solution.
