So, now that the FCC has approved the creation of one gigantic satellite media company with the merger of Sirius and XM, it's time to begin dreaming up some clever names. We tossed a few around a few, but mostly they just ended up being weird combinations of the two companies, along the lines of Xirius, Smirius, and my personal favorite, S&XM.
Apparently the two companies are even more strapped in the creativity department than we are. After the $2.76 billion takeover, the best they could come up with was Sirius XM Radio Inc.
Sirius stocks dropped on the news of the merger from $1.55 to $1.49. I'm not saying that it's definitely due to the lame new name, but I'm certainly not ruling out the possibility.

XM made a huge mistake merging with Sirius. The programming has been poor Thru-out.It just not worth been a paying customer specially that they are planning to raise the price and have less stations.
who ever put this programming together on Sirius have no Idea about music. My contract with XM will be over in this coming March and I'll be happy to go back to my favorite radio station. For Free
