Saying "ModelViewViewModel" or "MVVM" out loud is too awkward! Alternatives?

Question

Hi,

This may seem really silly to you, I admit, but when discussing the Model-View-ViewModel pattern with my teammates, it's very awkward to pronounce the term. "ModelViewViewModel" or "Emm-Vee-Vee-Emm" don't exactly roll off the tongue. Especially when you're not a native English speaker.

So I'm looking for an alternative. Something quick and easy to say.

Current suggestions are:

M2VM - "emm two vee emm" (feels smoother to say)
M2V2 - "emm two vee two" (doesn't quite fit, but it's inspired by H2G2 :))

Any more ideas?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Why not say "Move-em" instead of MVVM. When answering someones question about pattern to use, you could then simply answer "We can Move-em".

Answer 2

Pretend the Vs are a W, which is really 2 Us let's be fair, and say Muum. Bonus points for doing it like a cow.
