Isn't Everquest 'Next' an oxymoron?

My wife pointed it out....
the word 'ever' implies there is no end.....so
Shouldn't be like Everquest Still, Everquest Continuing or Evequest Keeps On Chuggin?

Petition to name change:
Everquest keeps on Chuggin. EQKoC
"In the immediate future, we have this one, and then weve got another one that is actually going to be so were going to have, what we want to do, is in January, what were targeting to do, this may or may not happen, so you cant hold me to it. But what were targeting to do, is have a fun anniversary to the Ilum shenanigans that happened. An alien race might invade, and they might crash into Ilum and there might be some new activities that happen on the planet." ~Gabe Amatangelo
I would be all for Evequest Keeps On Chuggin if not for the acronym.
"Hey guys I am going to sit down and play some EverQuest KoC for a few hours.", is not something I ever want to say.
The name could also refer to next part of the evergoing quest.
I think EQ 4 (the one after Everquest Next) should tell us more of the history of the quest and focus on some earlier part of it. It should be logically named Everquest Previous.
Haha, very good point!
Lets just hope the "moronic" nature of the name doesn't carry over into the actual game, but one does wonder....YUREKA! Everwonder should be the new name!
But thats the best part....

The game Everquest is not the same as "ever quest". Everquest is a proper noun. Have your wife check her math.

"It looks like it's dead, but for some reason it still moves."
I would be fine with Everquest 3, but they probably want a name that will stand out and just calling it 3 is not suficient.
Of course, EQ KoC stands out but for different reasons.
