I like it!

But if they actually overcome their corporate rigidity and allow themselves to have fun and say "okay, this is what people voted, let's go with it," that would be truly amazing. Yes, people would laugh every time they say the name, but people would laugh every time they say the name. Making people laugh and smile is a good thing.

Best name. Reminds me of "Future War" on MST3K! "Big McLargeHuge!" Lol!
