Or just: The Nintendo
We already know that they won't. It's just a codename, one that Kimishima isn't aware of its meaning (something that Iwata likely took with him to the grave ;_

I wouldn't be surprised if it really ends up releasing as NX. Remember, 3DS was supposed to be a temporary name (though it was a little too good to leave it there).
Anyway, unlike with competing consoles we are not exactly sure yet what NX really is. If it turns out to be just what everyone thinks it is (shared architecture, maybe with GamePad Lite for whatever reason), the Home/Go idea is very good, especially given the US "no play like that" marketing. If it turns out to be something crazier, then maybe there's a more appropriate name.

New Game Boy / New Game Girl
Game Boy comes in mannish blue with the OS having exploding letters everywhere, and the edge of the console acts like a bottle opener,
Game Girl comes in girly pink, the stylus can be used as an eyeliner also the screen acts as a mirror.

I still believe that the Neo and NX are the same console.

The Nintendo Nexus. Seems fitting for what they are describing it is like too.
The handheld would be the Nexus P. P is for portable and potential.

Do they want to position the handheld as a portable device by using the word Go or something similar and thus place themselves simply as a direct competitor to mobile?
I think the name should aim to differentiate the system from the main purpose of other products on the market, like "3D with no glasses" was for 3DS.

Oh good, you're not serious, because you do not want to step on the land-mine known as feminism.
But the issue with keeping the NX name is if someone does a search after the reveal, they'll pull up a shit-ton of false rumors on Google. Nintendo would probably want a name that would clean up house in terms of the message, including those who choose to do research on their own after the initial reveal.
We cracked the code!

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
NX Home. NX Portable.

Having Portable in the name, while it makes sense, doesn't really roll off the tongue.

Nintendo New X-Play BoxStation For Cool Kids
it creates two great situations for Nintendo
1. anyone confused and buying something as a gift will just get it, since they assume a kid asking for a playstation or xbox is asking for this
2. the "for cool kids" is really important, so any kid who doesn't get one knows they aren't cool
