SQLNotes...what is it exactly?
PPLandry:
One thing I realize from looking at the list of suggestions on the sqlnotes site is that the name SHOULD be descriptive of what the software does-Darwin (December 18, 2007, 11:12 AM)

But when a software does so much, that is so difficult to categorize, how can you convey that in a word or two. An arbitrary word (i.e. Zoho, Joomla or whatever) may be better

I still like Outline Commander (yes, I'm quite narcissistic).
It has a professional quality. It pays homage to the initial purpose of the program (outlining) even though it does much more now. The "Commander" name has a good reputation in the software world. People will start calling it OC (maybe that's bad!).
The non-descriptive names always seemed weird to me. I think those names work better for geekier software aimed at hardcore computer people who get a kick out of that sort of thing. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but those names just sound silly and ultimately just make me do research on the web to figure out what it does. I feel the name should be somewhat descriptive.
Armando:
Before choosing one it's always good to see as many possibilities as possible...
I don'T have any time right now but how about names that'll make smile too ? Or have some funny connotations ?? or...
like :
DataKebab
tabuladata
OutofDataExperience (ODE)
NearDataExperience (NDE)
GridMind
Griddler
Date-Nut Outliner
Datability
infoswiveler
EATKSynthesis
CleanYourMess
Darwin:
Good point, Pierre, but we have to think *really* carefully about what name is applied in that case, for the reasons that both Aram and I have outlined above.
Darwin begins to think... and his head starts to throb - too much unfamiliar activity...
