Raljon

FedExField, which Raljon was centered around

Raljon was a place name for the area around FedExField, home of the Washington Redskins (later the Washington Football Team and Washington Commanders). Former Redskins owner Jack Kent Cooke derived the name from the names of his sons, Ralph and John. Introduced in 1997 to almost universal derision, the name enjoyed almost no currency beyond the Redskins, NFL press releases, and the United States Postal Service, which formally recognized the name after granting Cooke's request. Tony Kornheiser quipped in a column criticizing the name that "Lucky for us, Cooke didn't name his kids Peter and Ennis." Daniel Snyder discontinued the use of the name when he bought the franchise in 1999.
