I like that. I bet it's copyrighted somewhere though. If not, that is a very good name suggestion. Based on the Mozilla lizard/gecko engine, fast and small. That's what a raptor was (well not based on the gecko engine, but fast and relatively small).
Of course Symantec owns Raptor firewall ...

New name for Phoenix: Autark
Hello,
My suggestion is <b>Autark</b> - a derivative of the word autarkic or autarchic.
Autarkic means self ruling, independent, free. I think all of these correspond to the qualities of Mozilla based projects.
Autarkic comes from Autarky; more info on Autarky at Merriam Webster:
http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?b ... va=autarky
I checked the United States Patent and Trademark Office website, and there is no trademark for this name ( Autark ) , probably since it is a derivative of an existing, unusual word.
http://www.uspto.gov
I feel the name evokes a spare, simple, sovereign, yet stark being - an independent, free, unconstrained yet unvarnished existence.
Tell me what you think.
Regards,
- Jay

I don't like it. The name doesn't sound cool at all, regardless of what it actually means.

How about "feenix?"

I'm tired, so this is all I could remember (and then pulled out of a book I have):
Pyrallis, Pyragones, or Pyrausta --they're all the same (and they start with P! Heh...)
"This remarkable animal, no bigger than a large fly, resembled a four-legged insect, with a burnished bronze body and golden filigree wings--but its head was that of a dragon."
"It was associated exclusively with the copper smelting forges and roundries of Cyrpus, in which swarms of the creatures were reported to dance and cavort like incandescent will-o'-the-wisps. Yet if one of these animate sparks should fly out of the flames, even for the briefest of instants, it would die at once--because the pyrallis drew not merely its sustanence, but also its very life force from the furnace's curning heat and raging vitality. Truly a beast of the fire and the flame!"
Not all that profound, but it does <I>sort of</I> keep with the Phoenix theme...

name Suggestions
I think the name Phoenix suites the project and the browser. So, there isn't really a need to change it to some 12 legged creature name or whatever To avoid copyright if thats really a problem we can modify it a little to something such as :
Phoenix I
Phoenix II
XPhoenix
MozPhoenix
and so on.. any suggestions ?
Cheerio,
GB.

Suggestions
Well, we could follow the OS X scheme and call it:
iBrowse
but looking through some lizard names the following stand out:
From English names:
Skink (small, but sounds kinda slimey)
Nobbi (funny!)
Goanna (Sounds cool, but might be difficult to pronounce)
From the latin section:
Carlia (abstract, and sounds nice)
Delma (describes legless lizards, which leads to drunk jokes!)
Menetia (just sounds cool)
My vote would be for Carlia - cool, friendly, and .org and .net are available.
