How about a variant of foam? xfoam? foamix? I think we can round up a good list of name candidates between us and pick one that most are happy with.

While celtixfire is the most politically correct name, and most 'accurate', it's an awful name from every other perspective. Our package names won't match, it's not easy to type or say, and is prone to various awkward abbreviations (as someone else has pointed out). If the project is a success (and we all think it will be) then the name will become more and more meaningless as time goes on.

It's not hard to imagine a future where it's taken off and has enough momentum and reach as its own thing that people won't know/care about the name origins, and instead will just wonder why such a great project has such a silly name ;)

I have been following up the project name proposal thread and I did not see any good name without trademark problem. I envision this will continue to be that way. We have already started project with CeltiXfire and why do we bother our energy to change it now? Users probably only care when we will have our first milestone, instead of project name. So I suggest we focus on getting our first milestone out ASAP instead of a pretty project name, hence my

-1 to change name.

Cheers,

Hi,
All the source is is, most of the other resources for the project are setup, and so I thought I would revisit the issue of the name as it seemed generally undecided that last time we chatted about it. So if there is to be any discussion about a name I guess we first need to decide whether we want to change the name. If that vote goes through then we can talk about name.
Myself I'm
+1
To changing the name.
