BCE has always weirded me out a little. Making it secular by just changing the suffix isn't really doing anything imho. I just read the Wikipedia entry and noticed that "vulgaris aerae" or "Vulger Era" for AD was once common. Now that is an equally problematic fix, but one I like.
BCE has the advantage of pleasing everyone.

Before Christ Era

Before Common Era

Before Current Era
