Pick Your New Bible Name

Kouya Chronicle came up with this bemusing Bible translation name generator. His astute point is that English has hundreds of translations, yet there are almost 2000 languages still without a full Bible.

From his post:
Given the proliferation of translations and versions of the Bible in English it is getting harder and harder to find new titles for them. So as a service, I am offering the Bible Version Generator which any publishers are free to use (as long as they put money in my secret Swiss bank account). Simply choose one word from each column and string them together to produce the title for a new English Bible.
And here's the table:
New Intercontinental Woman’s Bible
Revised Literal Men’s Version
Authentic Dynamic Youth God Book
Inspired Spiritual Study Testament
God’s Standardized    
Did he miss any key descriptors? Any favorite combinations?

I don't see "Extreme" anywhere on that list. A grievous oversight!
Andy, they also missed the variation: X-treme! One of my favorites.
How about: Electronic Searchable Commentary-Linked Multiple-Version Chronological Translation
I like the redundancy of "God's Dynamic Youth God Book." It has a Zoolanderian feel to it.
The obvious one - he left out "English". Probably would go in column two.
Here are a few more for column one:
Ancient, Simple, Easy, Visual, Today's, Modern, (name a culture or ethnic group)

Column two:
Global, Universal, Equivelant, News

Column three:
(name of culture or ethnic group), exploration, annnotated, expanded, concise, abbreviated

Colun four:
Translation, Scripture, Word
How about "A pretty good translation to help you get a rough idea of some part of what the original writer tried to communicate of the transcendent message God tried to reveal to him"?
