Why not XNM? It sounds better in my opinion, like "ex-nem"  Roll Eyes. Though it's tougher to remember the abbreviation XNM that XEM..

So why go for XNM then if its tougher to remember???
why to change the name, NEM is Ok for everyone.

it's not about changing the name. Currency codes start with X so we needed a different 3 letter code. BTC is XBT. We're still NEM but we'll be traded as XEM on exchanges that take these things more seriously. Kraken for example trades BTC as XBT.
