I must say Staines-On-Thames sounds more like a comment on the state of the water in the river than an up-market town on our venerable waterway. However they play it, I think they're sunk!

I like St Aines, though; perhaps St. Aines could be the new patron saint for towns in need of image problems.

Who will clain up Staines?

Revert to Pontus, perfectly good Latin name commemorating the first bridge upriver after London Bridge, two syllables and could become Pontus over Thames for that additional cachet if need be.

Who was the eejit that put up the Laleham on Thames signs. Never been called that until the Laleham Society (I believe) tried to make it seen more than it is.

Pontus on my OS Roman Britain IIRC, mind you, not seen it in years and yes, I know about Mare Euxinus.
