Which sounds better: CSUH or CSUEB?
A university near my school has just approved a name change in the middle of a state budget crisis. However, the change of the name (or at least the acroynm doesn't sound right for the new name). So, which sounds better?

"See Ess uh." It's brilliant.

Plus, I like four letters.

A middle school in our town changed their name a while ago, but they didn't get much better. They went from Parkside Middle School to Parkside Intermediate School.

PMS to PIS. Jeeeneeous.

Im pronouncing the second one like "See Suuuwebe" which sounds amazingly like "See Swede." And that simply wont do.
So, the old one gets my vote.

Interesting. Anyways if any of you are wondering, here is what the acronyms stand for

CSUH - California State Univeristy-Hayward
CSUEB - California State University-East Bay

The issue was the City of Hayward didn't want to lose the name from that university because the university is in the city. But the school wants to attract more people from around Hayward (the region that Hayward is in is called East Bay by the local folk)
