What the New Name for Facebook Will Be

In case you haven’t heard, Facebook (FB) has announced that it is planning on changing its name in order to rebrand as a met averse company. This plan is supposed to help the company distance itself from the issues that the Facebook division has been having.

Remember, that Facebook owns Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus, and many other companies.

The announcement is expected to be made next week.

An online gambling website, SportsBetting.ag, has put together a list of potential names and their odds of being selected.

The name with the best odds on the list is Virtuel, with Connect and Horizon tied for second place.

Here is the list of possible names along with the odds:

  • Virtuel  4-1
  • Connect  5-1
  • Horizon  5-1
  • Ecoverse  7-1
  • Metabook  8-1
  • Immerse  8-1
  • Omniverse  10-1
  • Persistem  12-1
  • Ecompass  12-1
  • Metanet  14-1
  • Sodigeco  20-1
  • MetaRack  25-1
  • Openverse  25-1
  • MetaLand  33-1
  • MetaLife  33-1
  • Dataverse  33-1
  • MetaMatrix  40-1
  • WeOwn  40-1
  • MyFace  50-1
  • Lifelog  50-1
  • ZuckRack  66-1
  • Subversive  66-1
  • MetaMark  80-1
  • MetaBeast  80-1
  • Zuckers  100-1

I’m surprised that the name Zuck wasn’t;t on the list. It’s a nice short, four-letter, easy-to-remember name.

The site is also offering bets on whether Mark Zuckerberg will resign as CEO before 2023. The results are:

  • Yes 3-2
  • No 1-2
  • which implies that there is a 66.7% probability that Zuckerberg will not resign

So, what do you think would be the best name for the company?
