I've confirmed with the vendor that they call the board "99pi" in
English which is rewritten as "Ninenine Pi" to avoid possibly unexpected
problems with a name starting with digits. This has nothing to do with
the price.

"Ninety-nine Pi" sounds too complicated for a board name and I don't
think "99" in "99pi" is meant to represent a number. Thus I'd like to
stick with "ninenine pi".
