呢幾年，傳統稱謂開始多返地方用，半官方機構主辦啲活動，如廣府文化節，就翻譯成“Canton Festival”。有啲活動舉辦方就用“Canton”來表示廣東，好似藝術廣東國際收藏品及藝術品博覽會嘅英文名係“Art Canton”，廣東亞洲音樂節英文名係“Canton Asian Music Festival”。民間團體廣州球迷聯盟係用Canton FC，作為渠地支持嘅廣州恒大足球俱樂部嘅英文名。有委員建議咗將廣州塔命名成“Canton Tower”，以充分利用“Canton”呢個國際知名品牌，統一城市標識，最尾廣州塔英文定名係“Canton Tower”，呢個係1979年以來當局首次用返Canton。雖然廣州塔係政府所有，不過唔係政府單位部門，所以英文命名度有返啲空間，唔會畀啲大陸法規約束。
In recent years, the traditional term has begun to be used more locally, and semi-official organizations have hosted some events, such as the Canton Cultural Festival, which translates to the Canton Festival. Some event organizers use the word "Canton" to refer to Guangdong, such as "Art Canton" and "Canton Asian Music Festival". The non-governmental organization Guangzhou Fan League uses Canton FC as the English name of Guangzhou Evergrande Football Club, which is supported by Qudi. Some committee members suggested naming the Canton Tower as Uranium Canton Tower, so as to make full use of the internationally renowned brand of Uranium Canton and unify the city logo, and the English name of the Canton Tower is Uranium Canton Tower, which is the first time that the authorities have used Canton back since 1979. Although the Canton Tower is owned by the government, it is not a government department, so there is some space in the English naming, and it will not be subject to some mainland regulations.
