One of the things I dislike about The Euro is the name, "The Euro." To me it sounds like a cheap car or a snack. Yeah, deep fried and salty. That's it. "Here, try a Euro."
Currency should be a source of pride. "My currency can kick your currency's ass," that sort of thing. It should be precious and worth fighting over if it comes down to it -- not something you put in a bowl and offer to guests to keep their mouths occupied.
The Euro's name should be changed to something that seems more European, and I don't mean the other two syllables, either (although The Pean actually might be an improvement). Something relating to a conquering hero, a sports legend, a popular Pope or a royal. The Diana -- that would be good.
My EXACT thoughts when it was named "Ecu" before (FRench spelling), but was later turned into the ... word totally devoid of any feeling, just information.
Imho the name "Euro" is just an skeleton of a name.
