OMICRON

It's a character from the cartoon series Transformers isn't it? Or at least it should be.

What happened to the letters E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N?

That's not how the Greek alphabet goes. The letters in between are epsilon, zeta, eta, theta, iota, kappa, lambda, mu, nu and xi. They've already been assigned to other variants, except nu and xi which were skipped for some reason (probably a phonological one, I reckon).

I don't suppose calling a variant Xi would go down well with the Chinese leader!
