It seems NASA agrees with this humble blogger that the Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, or MPCV, doesn't cut it for what will hopefully be an historic spaceship. So far, NASA has been focused on getting the engineering of the new manned spacecraft right, but the agency says it will soon turn to finding an appropriate name for the program.
How that will be done wasn't specified. NASA could simply come up with a name itself, or it could run a contest and let the American people name it-- which might generate more interest in and support for the program-- or it might establish a process that combines both of those approaches.
Hopefully, the naming will not be left to Congress.

the name of the MPCV should be Orion. To name it anything else is a clumsy political attempt to erase history. The design has not changed. The contractor has not changed. The spacecraft is Orion.
