Name-wise, I like Genesis better.

Sounds like 'birth/beginning'. Sega was kinda after the birth of the 'next-gen'. Trying to jump-start the 16 bit era.

Technology-wise, Genesis (to me) represents the US, Mega Drive (to me) represents Europe and Japan. Same technology.

They're both good names. I'm indifferent.

Mega Drive is the better name. Actually Genesis didn't fit at all with the rest of the names SEGA gave to their consoles and add-ons.

Mega Drive was also the official name of the console in all the world but the three countries of North America, due to naming licensing problems.

Mega Drive is pretty cool, but I'm still going to go with Genesis.

Genesis for me. Mega Drive seems cold and unfriendly to me. Like a hospital.

I prefer Genesis.

And I also prefer NES and Super NES over Famicom and Super Famicon. You know, in case you're looking for a future random poll idea.

"Genesis" sounds more dramatic and causes an epic aura to eminate from the console.

Mega Drive sounds too much like a toy to me. I don't think it actually lived up to its name for "Genesis" though. There were only a handful of good games.
