I just came across the word "Dawsonite", which conveniently has the word "DAW" in it. :) Just wanted to share.

> > Unison Studio (or just Unison for short) is pretty short. 3 syllables. Unison is a nice word, but all too common in my opinion. Perhaps there should be another bullet point for being unique (enough). What about "*Silas*"? It's a Greek-based word. Most Latin-derived languages should be able to pronounce it with ease. It is a boy's name which means "From the forest" and also has some biblical references, which I'd prefer to leave out in respect to people's beliefs. There aren't any software products using the name either. -Tres - Tre...@gm...

If I were to choose between Unison and Silas, even tho I agree that Unison is too common, I would choose it. Silas sounds a bit cacophonous (to use a Greek term) to me. But it might be just me. The ending "s"is the problem: we "Latins" would all pronounce it differently to each other. A Greek or I would say like "see-las" (with latin A like in "cat"), a Spanish might have a little different stess, while a French would say "see-là" (with a short "see" and a strong stress on the A). So i don't really know... English words are ok to me, as long as there aren't to many diphthongs. Wait. Do you say "Do re mi fa sol la /ti/ Do" ? I always studied "sol la /si/ do" (sound is "see" again). We should search a bit on how do people do solfeggio... But if we were to listen to all different Latin-derived pronunciations, we would never stop searching for names xD But really, what do you think of these names used for global services, "Siri" and "Cortana"?

Latido sounds catchy to me I often myself pronouncing LMMS as LMS, ~The extra M seems to make me stutter, but thats just me. In regards to Unison, This is also the name of a Daw, although on first glance it has not been updated since jan 2014 https://github.com/pgiblock/unison I have proven a few times, that I fail at marketing, so I feel i am not man to ask about timming a rename, but I have no objections On 14 September 2015 at 17:42, Tres Finocchiaro <tre...@gm...> wrote: > Another idea...

I agree that Unison is too common, I would choose it. This could potentially be a problem if it causes users to sift through pages of search engine results to find us. > Wait, how do you pronounce Latido? Believe it or not, in the US, you'll get many variations. The word bares resemblance to "Latino", so many will say: > - La (like Lasagna) > - Ti (like in teeth) > - Do (like dough, as in bread) The correct English pronunciation if this were an English word would be Dave's translation, but the US butchers most languages (including English) so we're not a great example. Due to the lack of punctuation symbols in English, you'll get some strange emphasis variations between the "LA" and the "DI" as well. -Tres - Tre...@gm...

What about a Japanese or Korean name? Europeans and Americans usually don't have problems with those. I don't know for Chinese users here. For example, Muse is Myūzu in Japanese. Myute? Like, something is mute if it doesn't make sound. While the program makes sound... Was just an example. However the urban dictionary is biting me...

Why is this so important? I don't really care how this software will be called, when it crashes whenever I load a project with a controller over on the master branch. Also, https://lmms.io was renewed for another 5 years, should we just throw that away? Not to mention that .io domains aren't exactly cheap. -Uroš|Umcaruje On 14 September 2015 at 19:30, Dave French <dav...@go...> wrote: > Is how a name is pronounced in various regions of the world important, as > long as it is pronounceable > > @Tres regarding unison, you have just reminded me how I stumbled upon it :) > > > On 14 September 2015 at 18:15, Tres Finocchiaro < > tre...@gm...> wrote: > >> Typo >> >> *Due to the lack of punctuation symbols in English, you'll get some >> strange emphasis variations between the "LA" and the "*TI*" as well. >> >> - Tre...@gm... >> >> On Mon, Sep 14, 2015 at 1:14 PM, Tres Finocchiaro < >> tre...@gm...> wrote: >> >>> In regards to Unison, This is also the name of a Daw, although on first >>>> glance it has not been updated since jan 2014 >>>> https://github.com/pgiblock/unison >>> >>> >>> FYI - That's the same pgiblock that helped write LMMS, BTW. :) >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> if we were to listen to all different Latin-derived pronunciations, we >>>> would never stop searching for names xD >>> >>> >>> Agreed. >>> >>> >>> I agree that Unison is too common, I would choose it. >>> >>> >>> This could potentially be a problem if it causes users to sift through >>> pages of search engine results to find us. >>> >>> > Wait, how do you pronounce Latido? >>> >>> >>> Believe it or not, in the US, you'll get many variations. >>> >>> The word bares resemblance to "Latino", so many will say: >>> >>>> - La (like Lasagna) >>>> - Ti (like in teeth) >>>> - Do (like dough, as in bread) >>> >>> >>> The correct English pronunciation if this were an English word would be >>> Dave's translation, but the US butchers most languages (including English) >>> so we're not a great example. >>> >>> Due to the lack of punctuation symbols in English, you'll get some >>> strange emphasis variations between the "LA" and the "DI" as well. >>> >>> -Tres >>> >>> >>> >>> - Tre...@gm... >>> >>> On Mon, Sep 14, 2015 at 12:55 PM, Dave French < >>> dav...@go...> wrote: >>> >>>> Latido sounds catchy to me >>>> >>>> I often myself pronouncing LMMS as LMS, ~The extra M seems to make me >>>> stutter, but thats just me. >>>> >>>> In regards to Unison, This is also the name of a Daw, although on first >>>> glance it has not been updated since jan 2014 >>>> >>>> https://github.com/pgiblock/unison >>>> >>>> I have proven a few times, that I fail at marketing, so I feel i am not >>>> man to ask about timming a rename, but I have no objections >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> On 14 September 2015 at 17:42, Tres Finocchiaro < >>>> tre...@gm...> wrote: >>>> >>>>> Another idea...

Hi, just change Linux to *Libre* then it can prevent confusion and we don't have to change the name. LMMS is becoming more well known, and I think completely changing the branding at this point is not beneficial. On 09/14/2015 03:07 PM, I'm Umcaruje wrote: > Why is this so important?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 > Unison Not sure if anyone already mentioned this, but there is already a Free Software file synchronization tool called unison [0]. I find there is no problem with double-naming if the names is already taken by some other project/business that has nothing to do with software at all (e.g. if there was a rubberducky factory called unison). But when there are fellow Free Software-developers involved who do not even have the financial means to defend their project-name with the help of the law, I find this highly unethical. For a new name I'd suggest dropping the "Linux-" in the name. Though the project began on Linux, it hasn't been true for a long time and nowadays it is simply misleading. An idea for starters: Maybe we could achieve some kind of synergy-marketing effect (*buzzword* *cough*) by renaming LMMS to "Traxxx" adapted from the Free Software DJing-tool "Mixxx" [1]. Of course this also would involve asking the guys if they find this cool, too.

What about a completely new way of calling the program, keeping the LMMS acronym? My idea was: - LM are the initials of the program new name - MS are instead the initials of the current version name The program name might be something like Libre Music (or, using an easy Italian word, Libera Music, which have the same meaning but is more interesting than the usual "Libre") Version names will change whenever we feel like it, and will always have an adjective starting with M and a noun with S. Like, Mystical Sound, Masked Sinewave, or whatever.

Hi, sorry to bump this difficult discussion, but I just wanted to share what I came across to. Actually I'm not sure if someone has wrote this exact suggestion before. I'm sure, tho, that we talked about recursive names. So, to keep the current acronym, LMMS Makes Music <insert adjective here> In the sense that with LMMS you can make your music that way. (Not that it makes a certain kind of music: in that case the adjective would have to be written before Music) Here is the list of s adjectives. http://adjectivesstarting.com/with-s/ It could be "simple". LMMS Makes Music Simple. Or we may invent one, like "shary", something that is easy to share with others (there is "shared", but it's more like divided into pieces) Others can be "Shiny", "Smart", "Social"(?), "Steady"(??), "Sublime" Anyway, the best way we have to close this name issue quickly is to keep the acronym, and I remember that a recursive one was a well accepted idea. Have a good day. ~DeRobyJ |

> > I remember that a recursive one was a well accepted idea. My vote is no, for what it's worth. A justified "bad" name is still a "bad" name. "XBMC" had a bad name for a while, since the "X" used to stand for "XBOX". They've since renamed to "Kodi.tv". GAIM (for those that remember) had the competitor's name "AIM" inside their own and has since been renamed to Pidgin (it's a pun!). I think these are some good examples. But not everyone gets a rename. GIMP hasn't gotten a rename <http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/08/the-gimp-name>. I also vote no to "shary". I don't think it rolls off of the tongue well. It's also how an english speaking 3-year old says "scary" when he can't get it diphthongs pronounced properly. If we do re-name, I'd like to see it happen with a solid 2.0 release with a new engine and a better layout manager (MDI windowing interfaces are bad UI in my opinion). That said, if a good name comes along, we can hold a vote, but until it does, we'll keep lmms.io for a while long. :) - Tre...@gm...

Reading through Rob's post (from 2010) he mentions the name "Unison". I think "Unison Studio" sounds nice. But, you know, renaming and all... difficult.

Well... I do like Unison (I wouldn't recommend Dawsonite tho, it's hard to say for latin-like languages native speakers like me). I still think something like "Open Tracks Studio" could be an option, but changing the name right now is quite a bad idea, we just reached 1.1 version... We could, like, wait some years, and then, after the community grows (there is no way it won't grow) make a public pull about a new name. We may find the perfect name in the meantime... Talking about names... Do you find it hard to say "Cortana" or "Siri"? They're read as I would read them in Italian, I wonder why would they choose these names for a global service. Are they easy to say for any language native speaker? ~DeRobyJ Il 14/09/2015 17:43, Ian Sannar ha scritto: > Reading through Rob's post (from 2010) he mentions the name "Unison". > I think "Unison Studio" sounds nice. > > But, you know, renaming and all... difficult. > > On Mon, Sep 14, 2015 at 9:34 AM, Tres Finocchiaro > <tre...@gm... <mailto:tre...@gm...>> wrote: > > I just came across the word "Dawsonite", which conveniently has > the word "DAW" in it. :) Just wanted to share. > > Yes, this email thread is originally from 2010. :) No, I don't > think it's wise to rename the software, just food for thought. :) > > /noun/ An orthorhombic mineral, hydrous sodium aluminum > carbonate, NaAlCO 3 (OH) 2, with a vitreous luster, occurring > as white blade-shaped crystals: mined as an ore of aluminum. > > > > > -Tres > > - Tre...@gm... <mailto:Tre...@gm...> > > On Thu, Aug 5, 2010 at 4:46 PM, Kevin <oct...@gm... > <mailto:oct...@gm...>> wrote: > > oh!

What sparked the recent idea was watching "XBMC" change to "Kodi". I still think something like "Open Tracks Studio" could be an option I feel it is a bit too long. I remember when "GAIM" switched to "Pidgin" and I thought it was ingenious given the logo (which is a pun, if you didn't know) in addition to the actual word "Pidgin" (not to be confused with "Pigeon") which gives it meaning. Firefox was once called the Mozilla Navigator (or more commonly installed as part of the Mozilla Suite) and has a nice ring to it. I think balancing a short name (pronounceable too, right?), a memorable name and a name that means something is the key. - LMMS is short. - LMMS is PARTIALLY memorable - LMMS is NOT easy to pronounce. - LMMS only PARTIALLY means something. I even find "Gimp" to work for the 3 bullet points. But then you have something like VLC: - VLC is short - VLC is easy to pronounce - VLC is memorable (for some strange reason, no one forgets its name) - VLC stands for "Video LAN Client" (hardly what it is used for), so the name is PARTIALLY valid like ours. - Tre...@gm...

Unison Studio (or just Unison for short) is pretty short. 3 syllables. Unison is easy to pronounce (for an american anyway). Unison is a common music term, and memorable. Unison represents multiple things going together, which is what producing essentially is. But I agree with DeRobyJ. If we're to rename anything, I think we should wait a while. If we ever switch to the single-window UI, that might be a convenient time to change names. So, not anytime soon, lol.

Yea that's a good strategy to find a great name. But you compared 3 different things: - LMMS is a name hiding an acronym - VLC is an acronym - While Firefox is a name, or Open Tracks Studio is a name (and you may call it OTS, which is close to OST, Official Sound Track, so it's quite easy to remember too, I think) I find VLC easy to remember thanks to its logo. I don't know why. Seriously. I may find one of those things on the highway and call it "a VLC". Unison seems easy too (even tho I just had to read the mail again to read it) But if we end calling it Unison Studio... well... it's "US". Firefox isn't called "MF" tho... Do you think we should first start a pull about having either a short name or a longer name with a good acronym?
