Groovey project names...

I'm editing a few projects at the moment including a php-admin thinger, a general purpose unix server, and the like. At the moment none of my project's have decent memorable names - I've named a sql database admin thinger - ' Iridium ' after a cool sounding element. But that's just essentially pretty poor. I named another project after some greek god, but then again that's still pretty poor.

What I'm asking is if anyone has a good idea for naming things, like a using a list of something, or whatever. Any thought's or suggestions would be appreciated, I've got about 8 projects without decent names.

Surely having EIGHT projects means they not only have no decent name, but more like "no decent input" ?

I'd scale down your interests massively if you want to seriously progress anywhere with your projects.

As for names, I just go with themes - eg, some IRC bots I established
were named gnome, Nautilus, XFree, Fjear, Blackbox all related to open
source/linux in some way..

The others I called Tossbot, Boozer, Whore Bot, On-Dope etc...

Just be imaginative, or dont name them at all and be worried about the actual content :smile:

Don't forget recursive acronyms! e.g. PHP, GNU, LAME

Ancient greek/roman Titans also have some cool names. Try Typhon or Hyperion (which is also the name of an excellent series of books...)

They're all very active, and very full projects gwil :smile: .

Will check that out lep, thanks.
