The last decent name I remember being suggested was "Cohort." Does anyone else have any current favorites? For SoC mentors, tomorrow, I'm gonna go -2 all the non-exceptional ones. -s. |

I would not mind "Cohort," though I'm not strongly in favor of it either. Still, I'd like to have _some_ name we can release with, so that we can get 2.0.0 out the door. luke |

Man, we really need to pick a name. How about we make a list of 30 and then have each person rank their top 10? Please email me directly with any additions to the below list, or any names that you think are absolutely awful -Mark New suggestions from me: Mimsy Tumtum Vorpal Angler Jumble Names that were mentioned earlier: Cohort Kestrel Motto Pidgin Hyperion Concorde Dolcetto Pidgenhole Adagio Drakee Andante Aria Arietta Cordelia Crossthread Flamenco Panela Sostenuto Zaphod |

Everyone please rank your top 10 names from the choices below and email them directly to me. And if you happen to have any new names, send those too, but don't include them in your top 10. If we decide all these names suck, we by no means have to actually USE any of these, but hopefully we'll have eliminated a lot of them. -Mark Adagio Andante Angler Aria Arietta Cohort Concorde Cordelia Crossthread Dolcetto Drakee Flamenco Hyperion Jumble Kestrel Mimsy Motto Panela Pidgeon or Pidgin Pigeonhole or Pidginhole Sostenuto Tumtum Vorpal Zaphod |

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. Here are the results. People who voted: Luke, Nathan, Evan, Rob, Ethan, Richard, Me. If you voted and you're not on this list let me know and I'll figure out what I did wrong. How I ranked them: I gave each name a certain number of points if someone voted for it. If someone ranked a name #1 then I gave it 10 points. #2 got 9 points, #3 got 8 points, etc. I don't think we should go with the top choice (mostly because I don't really like Cohort :-) ), but at least we can drop a bunch of them. If you haven't voted, it's not too late. Just email me with your top ten names from the list below. -Mark 52 - Cohort 37 - Motto 35 - Aria 26 - Adagio 21 - Crossthread 21 - Kestrel 20 - Pidgin 17 - Concorde 17 - Jumble 15 - Hyperion 15 - Vorpal 11 - Mimsy 10 - Flamenco 7 - Tumtum 5 - Andante 4 - Cordelia 4 - Dolcetto 1 - Arietta - Angler - Drakee - Panela - Pigeonhole or Pidginhole - Sostenuto - Zaphod |

Include Spiel and Tincan on the list as well. Over the weekend I came up with Seance. Names on that list I don't hate: Cohort, Pidgin, Concorde. Did someone buy a music lexicon before making that list? -s.

Dude, we're talking about an instant messenger. These people *are* uneducated, and they friggin' BUTCHER the language.
