Is it "L.A." or "El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Angeles sobre el Rio de Portiuncula"? Or something else?

The name of the game is historical accuracy. Everyone agrees on that.

What historians cannot agree on is the name given to Los Angeles when its Spanish founders formed it Sept. 4, 1781.

Some of the choices given in this morning's paper:

Some contend it was El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora de los Angeles.

Others assert it was El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reyna de los Angeles.

Or perhaps it was El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora de los Angeles de la Porciuncula. Or El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reyna de los Angeles del Rio Porciuncula. Or maybe El Pueblo de la Reina de los Angeles Sobre el Rio de Porciuncula. Or Pueblo del Rio de Nuestra Señora la Reyna de los Angeles de Porciuncula.

How about plain old Ciudad de los Angeles?

A good article, but it never addresses the key question facing us this springtime in 2005: Is Arte Moreno now stuck with the El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Angeles sobre el Rio de Portiuncula Angels of Anaheim?

Arte, you didn't know when you were well off.
