That was obviously my intent.

HOWEVER...

We call the month Av as a zikaron of Galus Bavel and the subsequent
ge'ulah.

So, MAYBE when this date becomes a holiday, we'll be calling it
Tish'ah beYuli or Tish'ah beOgust. After all, a commemoration of
the ge'ulah after Galus Edom would be far more compelling.

(I mentioned this to someone after Maariv, and he suggested that since
neither July or August line up with our months that well, maybe it'll
be Tish'ah beLeo. I don't think it has the same commemorative quality.)
