They couldn't use, "Nu" because it would turn into an Abbott and Costello routine.
Costello: So whats the name for this new variant?
Abbott: Nu
Costello:I know it's new, but what's it's name?
Abbott: Nu
Costello: I know it's new, but didn't they give it a name?
Abbott: Yes, the nu variant.
Costello: But all the other variants had names.
Abbott: Right
Costello: So why didn't they give this one a name?
Abbott: They did.
Costello: Then why won't you tell me the name?
Abbott: I did tell you, the variant is Nu.
