Just a historical note, all IIRC.

1. When Muni was building new raised platforms for the M line, one station was going to be called Stonestown because it was adjacent to the mall. This was deemed not acceptable and it's now named Winston Drive.

2. Similarly, when BART was extended to the airport, one of the new stations was going to be called Tanforan, after that mall. That was not considered acceptable and it's now San Bruno station.

These malls are the main landmarks/identifiers for their neighborhoods.

Big as it is, "Salesforce" is not how people identify downtown San Francisco. Are the route maps going to say "Salesforce". Are the bus destination signs going to say "Salesforce". Will the station agents and drivers refuse to understand what you're talking about unless you ask about "Salesforce Station", the same way Starbucks forces you to say stupid stuff like "venti"?
