Why are we continuing that pattern? Generation X gets named that, fine. Then we call the next one Generation Y, a few years later we realize that's stupid because we'll run out of letters and rename it to Millennial. Then we learn literally nothing from that, repeat the same mistake with Z and then loop over to the Greek alphabet? If we were going with the alphabet, why not start at A?
