Not a complete list:

My vote is for the Power Granny or the SUPER Delicious.

How about
"Next Generation Apple Computer"
That's it, that's the name. Or maybe NGAC.

I hope Apple don't call the new iMac 'iMac 2' 'iMac II' or anything silly like that.
I don't much like the DV extensions on some of the models.. Sounds a little corny to me.
KISS - Call it 'iMac'
Powermac is quite an old name, they'd have to come up with something very cool for it to be worth replacing I think.

We can always count on TigerWoods for originality.
I'm willing to bet a Voodoo 2 card that it will be called the iMac once again.
After all, how many PB G3's did we have? 5?
