So what the fuck
should it be, if you're so fucking smart? Escher Brickshitting 3D 64?
I don't know. I do know that name is boring and we both know you're spotting a logical fallacy right now.
I don't need to have an alternative.
"I don't like the smell of that flower"
"IF YOU'RE SO SMART WHY DON'T YOU GOD ONE INTO EXISTENCE"
I didn't know it was a real place but I'm not surprised. It's as mundane a name as Broad Street or Church Hill.
I'm still going to get it.

You're a logical fallacy, you handsniffer, and so is your post. I'm not asking you to god a fucking flower into existence. I'm asking you that if you're going to criticize the game's name as boring despite it being honestly very pretty and standing out amidst a ridiculous sea of names very much like the one I suggested (or Laffy, for that matter) you should at least have the decency to come up a replacement name. "It's boring" is not only useless as criticism, it makes no sense.
It's a bit like criticizing the name of Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs because it makes you think of Wallace and Grommit. Christ Almighty the shit I put up with. I'm going to bed, I want to see this mess cleaned up when I wake up.

Wallace and Grommit: A machine for pigs
that is totally some kind of thing that needs to be realized into reality
MONUMENT VALLEY IS A TOTALLY ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF MY CROTCH
TWO MEATY MOUNTAINS FORMING A SLICK TAN VALLEY
AT THE BOTTOM OF THAT VALLEY IS A MONUMENT, SOME SAY ITS THE BIGGEST MONUMENT THEY HAVE EVER SEEN
EVER SEEN
EVER SEEN

Nah brah, I don't have to come up with another name. Monument Valley sounds like some boring stop on a long journey to somewhere else. The kind of place where the actual monuments are in disrepair, the coffee shop smells of wet dog and the coffee not much better. The carpark is just a stretch of dirt and it'd be better off having a massive mall built on top of it.
Its boring because there is nothing interesting or different or unique about it, apart from its complete unremarkableness. At least call it something like "Silent" or "Silent Princess" or "Wandered" or "How Long Have You Wandered" or "Dub Dub Princess".
Your name was great btw. If only it'd get past the censorship!

And there you fucking go. If you'd done this in the first place we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Well I shouldn't really have to do that, should I? Its like saying "you play then!" to someone who says band X are poor guitarists.
I just took those names from the text in the trailer, apart from the last one which was inspired by the trailer music, the fact that there is a princess in the game (according to the trailer) and yours and whassisnames joke names.
Where do I get that music though?
EDIT: It's by Obfusc, Amateur Cartography. Apt! :)

So Fez meets Knytt Stories meets Escher... I like the aesthetic.

No, it really isn't. That you make a comparison like this -- or the "god up a flower" one -- shows how little you even understand how fucking obnoxious your original post was.
