Re: Thinking up good application names?
I have the same problem with names, but sometimes I get the great names for example I had to write a little piece of software that listens to your Network Interface Card and displays incoming and outgoing packets, IP Addresses, TTL etc. on the screen, so I was stuck at the name, and I was thinking one night (all night long) for a good name, first I ended up with a name in my own native language (Albanian) but I wanted to be in English, so I was thinking about how my software works and the software will read information from in and out of my NIC and it will display them politely and silently to the screen, so I ended up on the final name `SilentRead` because it will read all packets silently. Another software that I wrote sending news from Slashdot on my e-mail, first I named it as SlashRSS, but now I'm improving it to be Slashdot independent and to make more user-configurable on other RSS Feeds (not just Slashdot) and to send the contents from the RSS on the users' e-mail, so I ended up on a name `RSS Transporter`, because it will transport RSS contents to users' E-Mail.
So you can think this way to name your projects.
