Rejected Xbox Names Revealed in List

[Steve the Pocket]

Those acronyms reminded me of a guy who named his camera "DAVID": Digital Audio-Video Input Device. Clever, but way too generic and literal.

Reminds me of some of those terrible names from the 1950's for cars.

For example, this little list from: http://jalopnik.com/5972546/the-edsel-could-have-been-named-the-intelligent-whale are a selection of the names Ford had suggested for the Edsel.

Ha, I remember seeing that list a while back. I don't think any of them were actual serious suggestions; they were the result of random brainstorming. That said, "Pastelogram" (possibly with two L's) and "Symmechromatic" are begging to be used by something, somewhere. Just... not a car. Never, ever a car.

I think going with the "MAX" as in "Xbox Max" would be been better than Xbox One, not much better but still.

Holy crap I can't stop laughing. The MAX? The FACE?! Haha, what the hell, Microsoft?
