Hamilton Bridge would be a good choice too, seeing as the Luas lune passing over it heads to Broombrdge.
If they stick with writers, perhaps Oscar Wilde or Patrick Kavanagh.
There was some talk about naming it after Maeve Binchy..

I like the idea of Binchey Bridge
Who says it needs to be a writer? maybe an albeit modest nod to Eileen Gray or Peter Rice?
May I suggest calling the bridge the ‘Dublin Bus Employee’s Bridge’ Since they are the reason the bridge is being built in the first place. :thumbdown:
Name it after Merkel. Might loosen her up on the debt.
“Knotkneeded Bridge”
“Debtarchitecture Bridge”
“Wongbridge”
“Ybridgeme”

There’s a train station not a kilometer away named after the man. There’s enough things names after Easter Rising leaders.
