Wii U sounds like (as mentioned) a siren, a college for your wii sports lovin' granny, a response to an accusation (We ? ? ? ? YOUUUUUU ! ! !)

You could go for almost anything and it would sound better than Wii U. Horrible names that would still sound better than Wii U:

Nintendo Morescreens
Sega Nomad
A Doggy
Bowl Of Cereal

Just to preempt anyone who feels obligated to Report this, please let me explain my post. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the "Wii U" name, as the original topic is addressing this subject. I've decided to create a list of names that would be poor choices for the system, yet I feel would still be better than Wii U. This is hyperbole as I realize Wii U is obviously more palatable than any in my list. I'm trying to joke around. I'm sorry.

I'm fine with the name.

(And it reminds me of Mentok.)

I thought the poll was asking if I would change the name, not if I liked the name >.< this is why you always read the fine print children.

I hate the name Wii U, personally I would rather it be Nintendo Café or even just Nintendo U. The Wii U makes it sound like it's just another Wii instead of a new system.

Sigma, cafe and EON are good. But when you want to say "Let's play some cafe" or "Let's play some Eon" it doesn't sound do nice. And WC is toilet in many countries. (it means water closet or something like this)

I still think SEGA had the best names...

WiiU is not a bad name and not really a good name, though miles better then anything with a number in it or a Super in its name!
