 hmm, thanks for the suggestion, but that name doesn't do anything for 
 me. frankly the majority of the naming traditions around unix software 
 are crap and devoid of much creativity, i'll be very happy to ignore 
 them completely.

 boo to names like kspread, gnu and wine

 hooray for names like firefox, ubuntu, debian, marble, slackware and 
 evolution that ignore these trends
