May I throw out some new name suggestions as a new start: (bit off topic :P)
Item Void
Orb dock
-
Icon Orbit
Orbit Dock
OrbiDock
-
Semi-Circle Dock ;)
-
Circle Dock's new name might be in Welsh: "Cylch Penfro" (Circle Dock), "Ddoc Cylch" (Dock of Circles) and "Cylch Doc" (Circle Dock) are all Welsh for "Circle Dock". Welsh, however, is a mutating language, hence the different forms which depend on how the name is used. The first form would be used as a 'standalone' name, the other forms would be used when the name appears in a sentence. That could be awfully confusing for users, so maybe not!

Hey, I already know what the first FAQ item will be: How do you pronounce ... :D

"Silk Penfrow", "Dock Silk" and "Silk Dock"! Next? :D

"Silk Dock"
-Markham
it's off-topic really but that's a nice name there (IMO)

Plus, instead of having to 'put a sock in it' you'd be able to take one out!

As I'm sick of the Apple-ish term "dock", and also in the light of the unavoidable development-path-change, I suggest we smile a bit while reading each other's ideas about the names we imagine for the next version's codename.
I hope I'm not offending anyone by doing this as this trend was started by Markham himself in the license discussion thread.
So I'll continue here:
BYRLYAU (welsh)
or
BUBBLES (english)
-
Nice idea(s) :)
Welsh words look beautiful I always find, but I never have a clue how to pronounce them - it's even worse than Irish that way I think...
Good point about the 'Dock' word - but it is, (for want of a better description) a 'guiding' word - people know straight away what it's about

+1, and branding is everything, especially in a commercial product. Though I suppose there are other words that might convey the same thing, especially since the 'Dock' doesn't actually dock to anything, unlike other docks out there.
Maybe launcher, i.e. Circle Launcher?
Looking at synonyms for launch- Cast is one that it puts forth. So App Caster? Or maybe Activator would be a word to use since it's also a synonym.
Just brainstorming...
-
i split and merged the topics discussion new names to this thread.
-
maybe:
circumference (not a circle name but it implies it :-[)
circumference Dock ?
Round Dock
-
Roundabout
Rotary Launcher
App Spinner
Grand Circular Station
-
Cog-Native Launcher
Pronounce Cognitive
-
Rotisserie Dock
-
Rotisserie Dock
-daddydave
Where-we serve it-up-good, I guarantee!
Spoken with a French/Cajun accent :Thmbsup:
May need to also look for a business-y name concept.
Something remember-able to s free user, but professional for business.
This is truly a neat trick 8)

Free Dock
Because it floats "freely" on the desktop, rather than being stuck on the side of the screen like most other docks
-

-ArchaicTimeFrog
This has my attention :Thmbsup:
Maybe a derivative of this name, time to break out the thesaurus

-sgtevmckay
The problem with that name is people will expect to get it for free, or expect it to be open source.
Perhaps Freedom Dock might be better?
-
Agreed on the "Free" It just sounds good and inspires a search ;)
Freedom Dock or Launcher is exactly what has come to mind.
Or Liberty Dock, but this may be extremely passe
Also:
Clique
Alliance Launcher
Affiliation Dock
Abstract Dock
NexGen Dock

If you want to get rid of the 'D' word, how about
'Round2It ??
You could have a logo of that stupid wooden round thing for procrastinators. :)
-
center Dock
Move Dock
Abstraction
Object Typhoon - like the most :D
here's a prototype logo for Object Typhoon
-
"What Dock"
-
Eye Docktor
-
I am sure mouser will come up with a catchy name, something like 'Spin And Choose Robot' (it does sound like sucker though :down:)
-
If you combined the previous two comments you could have Spin Docktor.
-
I've got a cool one: Uzumaki Japanese for Spiral(at least that's what they say.) A cool movie btw.
-
Maybe launcher, i.e. Circle Launcher?
-wraith808
+1 for that one
-

-cranioscopical
I like that one. Or Clique Docktor...

How 'bout: BrassRing ?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brass_ring
A brass ring is a small grabbable ring that a dispenser presents to a carousel rider during the course of a ride. Usually there are a large number of iron rings and one brass one, or just a few. It takes some dexterity to grab a ring from the dispenser as the carousel rotates. The iron rings can be tossed at a target as an amusement. Typically, getting the brass ring gets the rider some sort of prize when presented to the operator. The prize often is a free repeat ride. The phrase to grab the brass ring is derived from this device.

@Sarge & Mack:
Still waiting to hear back from the GPL wonks regarding your dilemma. I'll PM when I hear something.

I like that one.
-wraith808
another +1 for Spin Docktor or Spin Doctor -
I actually prefer it without the k, even though I know it makes more sense with 'Dock'

Assuming the initials can be explained away to mean something else, why not do a spin-off style mash-up of the original name, like:
