I agree that a playful name would be a wonderful way to go for this very playful move. I like Gimbal for that reason. Just checking, it’s pronounced “gym-bal” right?
There was one other playful suggestion sometime in the past couple of weeks, in addition to gyre, but try as I might, I just can’t find it in the rich flow of email on this topic, so if someone wants to re-nominate it, with the goal of a rememberable and playful name in mind, please do. I know that indicates it’s not passing the rememberability test for me at the moment but, to be fair, I was just skimming on a work night when it flew by. > On Jan 27, 2016, at 5:57 PM, Andrea Nettleton via Callers > <[email protected]> wrote: > > What I feel > Is missing from these expressions is twofold.
