The next-generation Android N mobile software needs a name, and Google wants you to help.

Google announced Wednesday that it's calling upon the world to help them name Android N, which you can do on its website.

Each Android release has a name that follows the last one alphabetically, and they all are named after desserts. The last two Android versions were named Lollipop and Marshmallow.

So Google wants you to hop on the website and give them your best dessert suggestion starting with N. Our favorites right now are Neapolitan, Nougat, Nerds and Nutmeg (because mm). 


Google also posted a playful parody at how it comes up with its names. Not surprisingly, Twitter users had a bit to say about the topic.


The contest ends on June 8. So, tell us. What's your pick?
