Except that Mer has meaning for even fewer people. Unless you come here and read artices on a regular basis, you probably have no clue what Mer is.

Meanwhile, MeeGo does have name recognition in the industry. While I'm sure they will come up with a name other than MeeGo or Mer (since Jolla != Mer), in the meantime invoking MeeGo is good enough for right now.
