i know it's stupid but i always find myself motivated to work on programs when they have a good name..
Clipboard Help and Spell needs a new name, since its going to be as much about note taking as clipboard and spelling.
suggestions for a new name?
ClippyNote ?
-
arrgh, no!
not clippy, it's too much like microsoft's clippy annoyer, i mean helper.
-
i've got it:
"Revenge of Clippy Xp Pro 2005"
:)
-
Now that... that is a name worthy of... laughing at!! Nice!

Clippy Hippy ...
Son of Clippy
ClipMate
Up4grabs
Catch that thought
Saviour for the ... I forgot!
Grab! Save! 'n' Play! ...
Loosing the will to live - and I need some sleep ...

-
"Death to Clippy Xp Pro"
"Clipboard Tamer"
"Clippy 3000"
"WTF Another Clipboard and Notes Program?(tm)"
"Clip It and Forget It"
-
"Clipboard Notebook Deluxe"
-
Clip and Note (a la Find and Run)
Clip-o-nator (hopefully you don't take this one seriously)
ClipTools
Jack of all Clipboards
TextToNote
Kevin (my signature, not a name suggestion)
-
ClipIt?
EasyClip?
Why does it have to have the word "clip" in its name? You could call it Globulator, or Fantastabolic Paster, the kids will love it. :P
-
ClipSuite
-
ClipSuite is not too bad... and no google hits to speak of..
-
How about ClipSweet ... ;)
-
Sinse i read the forum what mouser wants to improve a lot
* Clipboard manager
* Notes tool
* little data base
* .... what i've forgoten
there must be an name how supports all thoose features.
Just on the search ..... :)
-
yeah if it is a notes/db tool then 'CLIP' might be misleading..
hard to think of a name that captures everything :)
-
SuperJotter - does everything ... and then more !
-
Arrrggh, i have had collected a dozent new names into this side
and suddently this side refreshs
and i lost all, all , all :(
-
potency -> ClipTency
captivator -> ClipTivator
ClipDoes
ClipFellow
companion -> Clipanion
abettor -> ClipAbettor
ClipAide
volunteer -> ClipUnteer
ClipCaptor
ClipSuite
-
ClipNote or ClipNotes
all i found searching online is some japanese variation.
-
the key requirement for a new name is that when you type it into google you get less than 10 hits.
clipnote doesn't survive this test unfortunately.
ClipCaptor and Clipsuite however sound quite promising to me..
-
SuperJotter that I mentioned above only gets one Google Hit (and that's the one above ;))
-
Glad to see this thread -- CHS as an acronym isn't bad, though it says nothing about what it does. Clipboard Help & Spell on the other hand is a bit too straight forward and uninspired ;)
From this thread, I liked "Jack of all Clipboards", ClipSuit and ClipSweet.
"Yet Another ClipBoard Extender" (YACE) -- heh, if you have a southern drawl, it's a bit like yes. "Yace, yace, more . . . clips" ;)
ClipFever
SnippetSnatcher (Ungh)
Mary Poppin's Bag (Terrible, yes, I know . . . but CHS is bottomless after all )
ClipRight (Surprisingly, this doesn't seem to be in use . . .)
"The Marsupial" -- Animal names have always been popular-- "The Bat", "Firefox", "Panther". Marsupial, perhaps too subtly, hints at that storage pouch that goes everywhere you do (if you're a marsupial, anyway)
-
just a little bump to this thread....
how about "ClipHS" pronounced like "Cliffs" yet is an appreviation of Clipboard Help + Spell ;)
-

Hmmm. I'm trying to decide if that criteria is a good thing or a bad thing? It cuts both ways.
ClipNspell - I like this because the spell feature is its best feature.
ClipJuggler - Emphasizes the merge & clip indexing features, which is important.
-
suggestion from my daughter:
clip-a-tron (this gets a lot of 'tron' movie related hits on google)
Clipatron (gets no google hits)
(btw: she liked the Fantastabolic Paster idea :D)
-
I like clipatron :)
although the patron part is ugly...
ClipCaptor sounds good.
How about breaking out the clip-XXX thing.
memento *reference to the movie of this guy who had no short-term memory/-* and variations could be interesting...
-
How about ClipMinion or some thing cool like that.. but really.. you are the author of this software and are asking other people for ideas? ;) ;D
ClipConnoisseur
ClipClaw
ClipCrunsher
ClipVault
ClipStore
ClipKeep
ClipInspect
ClipGator
ClipRevert
fastClip
fClip
Clipz
JustNotes
JustClips
ClipCity - lol
Just some quick thoughts. ;)
-
The main thing that attracted me to Clipboard Help+Spell was its spelling feature. Therefore, it would be desirable if "spell" was somehow included in the name, such as with a name like ClipNspell.
-
Likewise for me superticker: spelling is key IMO. There really are a ton of other clipboard extending apps out there, but few of them deal with spelling.

after so long, i think we are stuck with the current name.. ah well lesson learned for next time to be smarter about naming a product.
-
Why not combine this program "Clipboard Help+Spell" and "The Form Letter Machine" to one new program for Clipboard control and for write text blocks. New name for the new program.... Clip and Write. I have a prgram what does that, but special in TFLM are now functions what makes it better, and I belief it will be much better.
The other commercial program.

If you are still looking to change the name maybe go for PasteVault. No google hits, unlike InfoVault, and the fact that you're copying and pasting information in and out of a vault / safe like container. Or even TextVault

TextVault-justice
sounds good

Most companies when developing new products and software give them "project names", like longhorn for vista.
Why not just give it a project name until one comes to you?
Like "SkyClip" or "LightingClip" or something.
-
How about MouseTrap? It's late, the beer's cold... I couldn't help myself. I'll be embarrassed in the morning because I'll not be able to remember why in the h-e-double hockey sticks this was cute/relevant. Oh wait. Crap, I've already forgotten. Move along people, nothing to see here. Keep moving...

I like ClipMinion, ClipSuite or ClipManiac ?
There is google search result but we still can outrank them easily ;)

ClipClap?
Slip (Spell & Clip) :D

Kliptomania?

I like vegas' ClipNotes -- sounds like everyone's favorite student resource, Cliff Notes.
iClip -- suck up to the Apple crowd.
Clipboard Enhancement Utility for Windows -- If Microsoft named it. Make sure you compile six different versions, five of which are guaranteed not to install on whatever Windows you actually use. Include Alpha support.
ClipClop -- Appeal to the equine enthusiast.
Dr.Clip -- Putting "Dr." in front of a name is soooo 80's.
eClips -- Putting "e" in front is soooo 90's, but actually the riff on "eclipse" is kinda cool.
Cliposaurus Maximus -- My personal favorite, but I bet nobody else will like it. *sob*
-
Not ready to break yet, I guess...
I am not familiar w/ the potential uses of this prog but it seems to right off the bat be doing cool things w/ spellcheck, thanks to you who can and have made it.

I have decided on a new name:
"Clipberd Helpe an spel"
;D
I'm afraid we are stuck with the original name at this point since it's been so long, but i've learned my lesson and won't be naming programs anymore without getting advice first.

How about copping an attitude? How about: Clip THIS!

"Clipboard Help and Spell"... I tried to think of what I might call it if I never had heard of it and for the life of me nothing seems better. One wild stab in the dark could be...
"ClipNote Spell Assistant."
Like I said, not really the next marketing paradigm. :-[
-
I agree with CodeTrucker, actually. I don't have a problem with the name of any of Mouser's applciations. Clipboard Help and Spell is descriptive and rolls off the tongue easlily enough. What more can we ask?
-
You could always keep the name and change it too.
How about CHASTE?
Clipboard Help And Spell (Text, Everything). :)

I am pretty sure you are flogging a dead horse at this point. Doubt Mouser will be changing the name of this program now (though I say its never too late, I think it should be changed asap!).
-
I think people are just responding for a bit of fun....
Mouser has said twice now that he isn't changing the name from CHS
It would probably be a better idea to come up with new wordings for CHS, the funnier the better
And at the very least this thread will come up in search results so it doesn't really hurt anything
-
CHASTE is actually pretty good.. but as has been pointed out i'm afraid it's probably too late to change it unless there is some kind of complete rewrite.

Well, if you want to go that way, how about CHASuble? Might have mass appeal. ;)
