Ninja Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 Ive been creating a large database for a warehousing and distribution company. Its nearing completion, but i still want ot give it a name. I know the system PC World uses is called 'Eclipse', which has inspired me to give this sytem a name. Only problem is, i'm stumped for ideas. At the moment ive been calling it 'Mercury', but i thinks its ultimately cheesy and sounds like something out of a sci-fi film. Any ideas, Maybe a Roman/Greek/Norse God.
mse Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Do you remember the world's favorite pair of chipmunks, Chip 'n' Dale? Why not "Cheap 'n' Deal" Or, taking into account the company business, "Distrubator" ;-)
Ninja Posted December 8, 2004 Author Posted December 8, 2004 Yeah i remember chip n dale, but they don't sell products, they just store and distribute them. It took me three attempts to pronounce "Distrubator", my intention was to find a name that they can just put into a sentence to replace: PERSONA: "How many Fireplaces do we have in?" PERSONB: "I'll just go and check the piece of software which ollie made us which stores that kind of data and does lots of other practical labour saving tasks!" OR PERSONB: "I'll just go and check on distuba....disrutabor....dristbutator...That piece of software" Its gotta be snappy, modern, sleek and stylish. But nice try
Ninja Posted December 8, 2004 Author Posted December 8, 2004 Both on the right track, but i'm afraid they're just not clicking with me. Maybe i'm too picky

Ninja Posted December 9, 2004 Author Posted December 9, 2004 I like Nova, thats gotta be the best one yet. I think Aspirin suits the post quite well!
Ninja Posted December 9, 2004 Author Posted December 9, 2004 I just realised that 'Nova' is a really crappy make of Vauxhall car and young idiots think they're fantastic and put a spoiler on them and think it looks erally cool! It would always remind me of that!

Ninja Posted December 12, 2004 Author Posted December 12, 2004 They're some awesome names, i especially like Anvil.
mse Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 An ultimate naming application has released http://www.marinersoftware.com/sitepage.php?page=74 * Desktop Poet 1.0 ($20) is "fridge poetry" application, which offers hundreds of word tiles on your desktop or "virtual fridge" area. It gives "the user the ability to compose imaginative prose or to formulate specific brainstorming ideas. Desktop Poet visually helps the poet or brainstormer create clearer thinking, more imaginative projects, and better organized writing by expanding on the free flowing thought process." [form]
Ninja Posted December 15, 2004 Author Posted December 15, 2004 Cheers for the help guys, but i realised that Mercury is infact the messenger of the gods, hence he is a delivery boy, which fits with the warehousing and distribution company. Ive even created a logo for it if anyone is interested. See Attachment
