It's a fair point to say that "New 'n' Tasty" shouldn't be used for AE because it's associated with AO, which is why I didn't suggest that phrase as the new name back when we were discussing it originally. But now that it has been chosen, it's a general enough phrase that it can be applied to any of the games.

"X-tra Bone" just sounds freaking wierd and vaguely sexual.

My ultimate point is that this isn't about creativity - this is about creating a brand. And this isn't about in-jokes that fans will understand -this is about marketing to new players or old players who don't remember the games perfectly (which would be the vast majority of people who played the originals).
