Stupid question - NP or NB?

Been meaning to ask this for some time now. Probably a stupid question. Why are NameBucks abbreviated like this? --> NP$

Shouldn't it be this? --> NB$

NP has a nice ring to it, NB sounds like New Brunswick

"B" is right next to "N" on the keyboard, I guess. "P" is on the other end.

When we opened NamePros originally, they were called NamePros Dollars and then NameBucks. The NP$ abbreviation stuck. You can also refer to them as NamePoints.
