1. I'm in favor of a decimal-denominated naming scheme for the DW Points.

2. I'm a little baffled as to why everyone is going for a "weather" related
template (drops, clouds, monsoons) since the service does not have a
weather-related name.

2a. That being said, there are very few suitable naming-patterns,
hierarchical or otherwise, that can be spun off the "dream" concept.

2b. You really don't want to get gaggingly cute.

3. If there isn't a naturally-adaptable hierarchy available (for example:
comets, stars, galaxies, universes) to use as a mnemonic naming system, it
doesn't matter what you name them, as you'll always be defining the
hierarchies back on the purchase page anyway [i.e.  ten points makes a
mega-point, ten mega-points makes a super-point (100 points), ten
super-points makes an ultra-point (1000 points) ].

3a. That means you can call them just about anything.  Diamonds, emeralds,
sapphires, rubies.  Copper, silver, gold, platinum.  Morning, noon, evening,
night.  Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, peach.

3b. I'm assuming you'll want four named items: 1, 10, 100 and 1000 points.
It partly depends on what will be available for purchase.  If nothing is
available for purchase that costs 1000 points, you don't need to provide
that denomination.

Apologies is this has all been covered elsewhere.
