well i got a thread at http://www.powerpage.org started about the same thing and it looks like the official name is:
Hammerhead
(and the 12" is called Thresher)
see the article:
http://www.powerpage.org/story.l…my comments on the thread:
after all this, i like "hammerhead" the best.
i liked "chrome", but it wouldn't separate it from the 12 and 15.
"Nimitz" sounds awful.
"YaoBook" would be confused with the mini book (since the Yao book is really the 12").
"BigBook" i like too.
"Your Mom" i also like. But i have a road bike named "Your Mom", so it might get confusing for me.
