Actually, the U was the name for the engine family not B as there was the U the 2U then the 2U-B.

And as it was already pointed out UR is already taken by the new series of V8s. So I think it's going to be:

1HR-GSE. Take a wild guess at what the H stands for?

That or perhaps this engine will represent a new line of engines (the 2000s could represent the (x)R family of Toyota engines just as the (x)Z did for the 1990s.)
