I realize that soon it will make no sense but at this time, referring to it as the "Nook Touch" should be okay. Sony has it, Kobo will have it (Kobo Touch) so B&N might as well join the fray. For now, it's a good enough method to differentiate it from older models and it's easy to stick into people's mind. Nook STR sounds too technical for the average folk.
"Nook, 1st Edition" and "Nook, 2nd Edition" would probably be the best way to go about official naming. Easy to shorten, too - Nook 1 or Nook 1st Ed., Nook 2 or Nook 2nd Ed. Naming it the "All-New NOOK" is just dumb.
