I totally disagree. I think that because DVD is such a household name and HD is becoming that way that HD-DVD sounds much more appealing to the general public. It's familiar and easy to remember.
Blu-Ray sounds like a neon fish. There's no reference point for the customer and most of them don't know what it is. At least with HD-DVD most people can make a logical guess.
If we're going purely by name I think HD-DVD will win out. But if we're looking at quality and marketability my vote is for Blu-Ray.
