because you could miss some other great names.. 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. Guerilla

"As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!" - A. Carlson
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...
Well, one of the forum posters own this company with just that name http://www.autark.se/ The world does not consist of US alone. Last edited by Stefan on November 7th, 2002, 11:12 am, edited 1 time in total.
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
![]() Phoenix I Phoenix II XPhoenix MozPhoenix and so on.. any suggestions ? Cheerio, GB.
"But it's pronounced "FEE-nicks." "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!" - A. Carlson
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. Who is onlineUsers browsing this forum: No registered users and 0 guests |
