If you do the vote then you get names like Crypto McCryproface (google Boaty McBoatface - if you didn't get the reference).
But such name wouldn't win in the voting process. I don't think that the majority of the community would vote for such a stupid name. That's the point of voting - get rid of bad things that people don't like and see what people like.
What do you mean, wouldn't win? Stupid shit wins regularly on public votes. Trump won, Brexit won. Boaty McBoatface won.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boaty_McBoatfaceThe first thing that I thought about when seeing "Obyte" was: "What "O" stands for? Many people will ask themselves this question and nobody will have the answer because it apparently doesn't mean anything.
You think that O was picked randomly and added in front of byte? Did you even read the announcement? Do you even know why this project was called Byteball in the first place? Have you ever even read what is on the website? Kind of difficult to take you seriously when you still haven't figured it out.
There is no central entity that stores and processes all the payments. Instead, transactions created by users are cryptographically linked to each other, and once you add your new transaction, other users start adding theirs on top of yours, and the number of other transactions that link to your transaction grows like snowball (that's why the O in our name).
merkel won. trump is cool
