**********Update*************
Exhultation! It's absolutely time to name the revolution, and yet it no longer matters what we call it, Mubarak is gone and Suleiman appears to be likely to be going soon. Hooray for these brave protestors!!

After most of a day of voting, it appears the popular choices are:

Let the Egyptians give it a name (when they are ready).

The Egyptian Revolution -- Duh!

*****************************

In general, we've had at least four broad categories of responses. For the poll, I've marked each possible respone with the following code to distinguish the apparently local names from the external media names, the facetious and so on.

Serious discussions of the protestors' and local media's take on the issue. "The Revolution of Anger" and so on. These names are given the best place atop the list.

What appear to be external media names. Note that I included the Al Jazeera name "Lotus Revolution", as it appears to be international media generated, not local protestor terminology. No intention to deprecate the name, which would be the one I'd vote for it I could vote.
