Well, if there is Regional Express, it would make sense to have Streetcar Express, right? 
I do think branding is something they will need to think more deeply about. "Light rail" is a technical term, like "heavy rail", and using it as the branding is just lazy. It's doesn't even make sense in Toronto which kept its traditional light rail network and continued to upgrade it with modern light rail features while keeping the "streetcar" branding. The lines will be blurred even more with a Waterfront West Line.
Streetcar Rapid Transit (SRT) might work, but "SRT" was already used for the Scarborough RT.
City already has a strong branding for light rail, it should take advantage. The TTC streetcar is iconic, whether it is the Flexity Outlook or the Canadian Light Rail Vehicle, and I feel like the city is denying its heritage.
I like the way each station has a unique name in Toronto. But at the same time some names don't make sense, like Finch West, the eastern terminus of the Finch West line. People travelling eastbound along Finch West to Finch West? I tried to fix things like that.

My computer is Windows 7 but I will keep that in mind if I build a new computer. Illustrator CS2 is quite old and not 100% compatible with Win7, so I doubt it will work with Win 11.
