Mega Drive just sounds a little cooler. Was it copyright issues?

On Wikipedia it says, "It was sold under the name Sega Genesis in North America, as Sega was unable to secure legal rights to the Mega Drive name in that region." I think Genesis sounds better, I sometimes mix up the names Mega Drive and Master System. Maybe because I've been used to "Genesis" for like 18 years now.
