One cute term for Condorcet which I came up with some time ago is VOOOTE -
Virtual One-On-One Tournament Elections. Obviously, you can compress this to
VOTE, and modify it with an initial letter, as in B-VOTE (Beatpath etc.,
which would refer to Schulze.)

Feel free to use this idea if you like it.
