Yea making up more irrational reasons for people's irrational consumer decisions :) But you are rigth it is really really really hard to come up with names on stuff . Where I work it is often [company name] + [vaguelly relevant acronym] + [number ,usually higher than the predecessor ] company name sends a message directly , so it helps . You could also include a hint to the principles of operation or physical atribute if they are kind of novel or cool "Jet powered" "compact" . Or hint at the result or design goals , like a really silent vacuum cleaner that has "silent" in the name . In that realm I Think names such as Transporter or Touch works really well , Squeezebox is just as silly as our jokes but we got used to it .

Re: [slim] Community Funded Squeezebox: Product Name
Ah yes, it can create a few problems if you choose the wrong name. I remember a software music player/database with the name Teen Spirit. The developer decided to change the name to Conium, which can mean "an extract from hemlock that can be used to treat spasmodic disorders". I suppose music calms the savage beast. It now has the name Jaangle (good name, good player). Mind you, I could do with a sip of conium now.

what not let the developers decide , then it's probably gets as bad as squeezebox . Think about it we got used to squeezebox by almost a decade of use of the product, it is in itself not a particularly good name . So our developers can probably come up with something eqaully bad that we can get used to during the years to come . Linn and Rega also have awful product names . In that vein why not *Brikk* ,with Linnesque spelling and a hint of bugs to come... :) Have fun , if anything emerges , maybewe should poll about it Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97975 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Community Funded Squeezebox: Product Name
There's a lot of good suggestions here, but I think there's a few principles that ought to be adhered to that will cull about half the list. 1. It shouldn't encroach on someone else's name/trademark/IP. - "BelCanto" is out: as has been mentioned, there is a hifi company by that name. - You'll probably get a nastygram from Logitech if you were to use the phrases "Squeeze" or "Slim" or the like anywhere in the title. 2. Googling should yield relevent results. - Doing a search for "juice box" or "music box" is going to give you a lot of results for anything but the device. cooppw02's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16712 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97975 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
