Google wants you to help name Android N

The opening keynote of Google I/O is underway (follow our live blog and stream) and one of the first topics in the Android section is the name of Android N. As with every year, coming up with a dessert-themed name for the new release is a challenge for Google – at least according to Vice President for Engineering, Dave Burke – and this year, Google wants you to help name the new platform.

This year, you can head over to Google’s Android N naming page to enter your suggestion but as Burke put it, Google wants you to keep the names clean. So some of the more obvious ones are out and, in a polite dig to British humour, they’ve also requested that you don’t call it ‘Namey McNameFace’.

So what could Android N be called? Here’s a few suggestions:

• Nougat
• Nutter Butter
• Nestle (they worked with Google on KitKat after all)
