However, if we take a step back and re-think about this incredulously long name and what it means exactly, you’ll see it may not be as entirely stupid as it was at first glance.

Windows Phone 7 Series describes the combined devices that will be running this new Operating System.  Just like the older OS devices will be called Windows Phone Classic Series.  “Series” is simply an added word to describe the devices together.

Therefore, in truth, Windows Phone 7 is the name of the OS itself, which is a lot less stupid than Windows Phone 7 Series.

I’m still wondering if there is a specific way they could make the name for the series itself more appealing.
