OPO - OPORTUNIDADE
On 04 Jan 2016 (
review,
placemats) “Ud” was used for
Unidade. It seems much more sensible to emphasise the part of the name that isn’t “Porto”.

ChR - Churchill Quinta do Rio
Works for me.

Db - Douro Boys
The ‘B’ has to be a capital, which would clash with Dow Bomfim. So I’d prefer “DBy” or “DrB”.

What about DoB? DBy makes me initially think Dow <something>. I know that doesn’t automatically follow...we have DG for Duff Gordon, but DoB avoids any question? As does DrB or course...

No objection to DoB from me. I say neither worse nor better than DrB. Others?

Prefer DrB for clearer differentiation from Dow Bonfim.

I slightly prefer "DoB" aesthetically, but am convinced by Phil's argument for differentiation from Dow Bomfim. So I vote "DrB" also.
("Douro" is pronounced closer to Dur-Oh than to Do-Row, so the 'r' does not seem significant to me to the pronunciation.)

Ditto. Which is a majority.
It seems that the majority prefer:
Ud =
O-Port-Unidade = O-Pᴏʀᴛ-Uɴɪᴅᴀᴅᴇ
ChR =
Churchill Quinta do Rio
DrB =
Douro Boys
Axel,
Mike, and
Simon have been PM’d asking for non-disagreement.
¿OOI, where is Churchill’s Quinta do Rio?

Non-disagreement compliance assured. Always good to look at all the options though.
