It's like those games like Thomas Was Alone. Seem abstract, but with a simple story or a simple difference, they become something else. Make your cube somewhat different... A couple of dots (eyes), stripes, a missing part in a corner, and then you have:
Personally I also like cumbersome, quirky, original made-up words too, not needingly related to the game like variations of cube (cubetronic, cubetastic, cubekill, etc.) As an example, I love the name and the game Glorkian Warrior, The Trials of Glork. Depending on the exact tone of your game you might find something in the same vein.

Have a round villain and make up some story about the evil round creatures... Then you can name it "Rounded Off", "Run a Round", "Wrap A Round" or something.... :D
(Actually, having the hero being a round hog and calling it "Round Hog's Day" would be cool... :D :D :D)
But I still like best ET3D's idea: "Difficult Spikes".

Hmm, how about...
Qb (or Q.b, Q-b, Qbb, etc., might be hard to search though)
The Many Deaths of Cube
Super CubeJump
Dimensions of Pain (on second thought, perhaps not. I think there's already a NSFW game with that name)
It's a pity the main character isn't a sphere. If it was, you could go with DO NOT MIX O WITH ∆ ! (Why yes, I'm the sort of guy willing to throw away material success for the sake of a bad pun, especially if it's also a tribute to Iconoclasts!)

I really wish I could help, but my mind goes blank when it comes to naming something :D

Die-mensions
Changing Die-mensions
Cubey McDieface
Die Trek III: The Search for Spots
You could call the character or the game something to do with John McClane or a thinly veiled copy of that, like Spot, Dot, or Dice McClane because the game is about a 'die' and it's a "hard" game = Die Hard

Hey guys,
I am thinking about this for weeks now. It's surprisingly hard and I am pretty desperate now. I am looking for a name for a platformer game. It is very simplistic and doesn't really have that kind of personality that makes it rather easy to find a proper name, like Cuphead or Shovel Knight simply describe the main character. My main character is a cube.
Well, since we have the best gamer community on the internet here, I thought I'll just ask you and hope that someone comes up with a nice idea. :)
The name should have at least some relation to the main properties of the game, which I will list here:
That's about it. Not a lot to work with. I have a list of rather generic ideas. I don't like any of them that much, really. So, I am hoping for your help.
So, please tell me: what would be a good name for such a game? I am thankful for every suggestion. If anyone here comes up with the name I'll use in the end, he of course gets a few copies of the game as soon as that's possible (meaning when the store page is set up).I will add him/her and make a note for that.
And if you came here and have no idea whatsoever, just like me, then at least you didn't come for nothing. So please have a bundled and a non-bundled giveaway:
Giveaway (level 1)Giveaway (level 2)Steam page is up now. I like this name the most so far, but I am still open to suggestions. Every wishlist is highly appreciated (as this seems to be the most important thing nowadays). To celebrate this I made a few more giveaways:
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Good luck! :)
