Which sweet, tasty treat will Android N be named after? Google wants your suggestions...

Google wants your suggestions to help it decide on the delicious nomenclature for its next major OS update, Android N - but bear in mind that 'Namey McNameface' has already been ruled out.

Google announced Android N, the next major update for its OS, back in March. As the company hosts its annual I/O developer conference this week, many were hoping that we'd find out exactly what the 'N' stands for - but it's not quite ready to make that announcement just yet.

Google traditionally names its Android versions after sweet, tasty treats - for example, the most recent version, which is currently on 7.5% of active devices, is Marshmallow.

But the company said today that it's proved 'more difficult' than expected to choose the right name for Android N, and as a result, it's inviting you to have a hand in deciding what it should be called. Simply go to android.com/n to submit your suggestion - but bear in mind that Google has already said that it won't consider Namey McNameface as a possibility...

Some of our readers already proposed a few of their own suggestions when we discussed possible names for Android N in March - be sure to check out their ideas, and share your latest suggestions in the comments below.
