FAQ: Worst. Name. Ever.

With the sun shining on us here at Guardian Towers and the weekend fast approaching, it's a perfect time for some Friday Afternoon Questions.

You're avoiding work, I hear you say. Maybe so, but *you* get the chance to avoid work too... and the best bit is that whoever comes up with the best answer will win themselves a spanking prize.

This week we've heard an awful lot about E3, PlayStation 3 and the Nintendo Wii (ever noticed how they all rhyme?) and even a couple of weeks after the name change was announced, the sniggers about the Wii's name haven't quite died down. But is it the silliest name ever? Possibly not.

What is the worst techie name ever?

It could anything: a rubbish product, a crappy company or a terrible codename that was trouble from the start. Answers in the comments, and the best one wins a prize.
