The next name

Imagine you have a new design for an encabulator and want to come up with
a name for the product. The following terms are already used:

Turbo: Someone used it many years ago on a product that turned out to be
a real turkey.

Super: We used this as an adjective years ago and the new one is ~10
times better than this product.

Ultra: Someone else used this as a name of a product.


Extra: Will translate as a spare in some cases.


Is there another obvious adjective I have missed.

You are obviously in superlative overload. The only thing you can do is

go back to the basics and call it the "plain old". Sales will suffer
for this product, but you can call the next one "plus" and things will
start picking up again.

And fer cryin' out loud be more sparing with the superlatives next time!

If the target audience is relatively young, "extreme".

A thesaurus is often a help in such pursuits. Even if it doesn't give
you the word you want, it may kick you in the right direction. You can
find decent ones online.

Hello Geodanah,

When I drove through Spain for the first time I couldn't stop laughing
for a while. They had these "Hypermercados". Probably the next step up
from "supermarket". Thing is, many of them were hardly bigger than a
mid-size house.

Ah, but the new kids have irony. So things that are really good are
called "bad", "super bad", or even "sick".

We also have them in France:

Supermarché
Hypermarché

And there is a difference in size, I can tell you.

Hyper.

Or how about quantum? Signifying that a "quantum leap" has occurred, and the old stuff can't
even compare?

Or just give it a letter. For example, 'M' or 'RS'. These seem to be cool
letters right now. 'X' is also cool.
