Perhaps the Lynx.

Or the Jaguar. Crap consoles, great names.

I think Dreamcast has to be my fave names on a console so far.

Neo Geo was always a cool name ;-) But then it became the name that people associated with rich kids and spoilt brats cause they're the only types that really has them thanks to the price.
Of course now all consoles are more expensive, but back then we were paying like £150 a time for a console, so £399 or rougly around that was considered a bit overboard for a console - especially when it was also £100 a game !

Didn't Codemasters buy up Sensible Software? One of the guys behind Sensi and Cannon Fodder (sorry can't remember his name), works there now.

Considering Sega's recent announcements, Dreampast sounds like a good console name!

I don't know much about it myself. I've just seen it come up a few times in the Japanese sales charts.

I always liked Megadrive because there was a joke that the most people where I'm from would think that a Megadrive is a new steering wheel for their tractors....

Wonderswan. That's a cool name.

Playstation. Simple but effective.

Dreamcast? Well at least they didn't follow Saturn with Uranus.
