According to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, the company is considering conducting an online poll to determine what the next Android will be named. The statement was made during a student forum at the Shri Ram College of Commerce during the CEO’s two-day visit to India. Pichai hails from Chennai and added that Indians could sway the results by voting in high numbers, and this could also result in an Android version being named after a non-Western dessert for the first time.

If you haven’t been keeping with the Android nomenclature, all versions, except alpha and beta, have been named after desserts in alphabetical order: Cupcake, Donut, Éclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, KitKat, Lollipop and Marshmallow.

Now we’re on letter N, and if there will really be a public poll and it is one of the options, I’m voting for Nerds. Why? Because I love the tangy-sweet combination of this candy, and second, to pay tribute to all the cool nerds at Google behind the Android platform. But that’s just me.

What other desserts or sweets could the next Android be named after if Nerd is not on the table?
