![]() or you could scramble the letters? nipheox...eniphox...noxphie...phexion...xinophe... i'm sure some of you creative people out there could come up with something usable! ![]() One of the definitions of Phoenix at dictionary.com says "A marvelous person or thing".
So why not Marvel? It's simple and to the point, easily searchable, and I think we can all agree this browser is a marvelous thing. Don't know if there would be any legal issues with that one though, in regards to the comic book company, but I like it. i think a good name is not meant to be too literal.. but rather it should evoke something nice...
(eg: amazon=amazing, etc...) so based on the Marvel idea.. it would be cooler to name it Marvin (marvin the browser.. cute no?) ![]()
Name for Pho**** ? Phono, Phormat, Phide, Shipix, Fleet. Armada.
Because it rolls off the tongue and represents the fleet of Mozilla products ready to attack Internet Explorer. How about "BLizard." Seems to have a "GeckoLite" feel. Of course all new graphics would be required. 8)
Sarcasm - Another service I offer.
Firefox 3.0 :: XP hmmm..something that reflects the stability (possibly naming it after something either than a reptile) of the browser..
tigrus... if your gonna sell your soul, dont sell it for too cheap

I came up with this suggestion earlier, and still think it's one of the best names ![]() <i>Latest Firefox Trunk & Thunderbird 1.0</i>
Lizards name is Basilisk and this lizard can also run on two toes.
And Raptor won't be used, because of trademark reasons (Raptor was the first name of the Gecko/NGLayout engine, and mozilla.org had to change it, just like Phoenix developers have to change the name of their browser right now). Some other names that can't be used: Any variation on Phoenix (ie. fenix, pheonix, phenix, etc). Blake said that the name had to be totally different. Chameleon (K-Meleon is already the name of a gecko-based browser for w32). Chimera (or Chimaera): already the name of a gecko-based browser for OS X. Raptor, as said above. I'd vote for name Phoenix, if we absolutely MUST change the name,
I believe it would be best just to add some kind of prefix to the Phoernix:
Anyway - I do not believe they (Phoenix Technologies) can do whole a lot about the way we decide to call our browser, scince they are not into browser business and thus the meanings of two trademarks should not be confusing. ---
Roland Hello!
What about Surfer or something similar??? MdG Sabberlod Phoenix technologies make a (BIOS) browser, so they have the right to complain about Phoenix-the-webbrowser. And again, Blake said that the new name must not be a variation on Phoenix. The browser should be called Hypatia, after the famous ancient female philosopher and scientist who lived in Alexandria from 370-415 AD and who was brutally murdered by a Christian mob. Do a search for her name, she's a very interesting person. And not trademarked.
There are other persons from antiquity who would be good as browser names - Strabo, the geographer - Aristarchus, one of the first to propose a heliocentric worldview - Archimedes, Pythagoras - Aesop, a Greek author famous for his fables - Democritus, who "invented" atoms Who is onlineUsers browsing this forum: No registered users and 2 guests |
