-Countercultural generation for Boomers
-Digitalizers for Millennials
-I cannot make up an appropriate name for Xers.

Ha ha. That's why they are called Xers!

Good luck, everyone. I don't think those two are appropriate enough, but good try. Smile

I provided names for sub-generations in my 1997 book, but when it came to boomers I just copped out and called them baby boomers. What does that tell you? Maybe Boomers and Xers are just generations that can't be named.
