Atanas Unfortunately, even if I like it very much, the name "Babylon" is quite for sure under copyright because of the popular translator.

One can think about chatting frogs, for example. In German language the word sounds close to "quatschen" or "quasseln", which means, to talk a lot. Some background information: osAlliance got some funding from a mobile phone operator (A1.net). We need to make available an open source VoIP/Messaging client until the first weeek of March 2008, so that their customers can download and use it. We do not need to brand it for A1, but can use any other name. We had to decide to use for this project "kvats.net", as they needed a story for their customer brochure. That's why we have already registered the domain and will build some kind of community/download/FAQ page in the next 3 weeks. We would be glad, to offer this name and our efforts giving the client a new identity to the WengoPhone community. --Roland -- Roland Alton-Scheidl Member of the Board http://osAlliance.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] M +43 664 1547588 Marktstrasse 4 A-6850 Dornbirn FN 218498x HG Wien ___ Wengophone-devel mailing list Wengophone-devel@lists.openwengo.com http://dev.openwengo.com/mailman/listinfo/wengophone-devel

When we brainstormed on names in November & December, we came up with a longish list of mostly not-very-good names: exovoice softspeak (would need a domain name buy & verification that the guy isn't still in business) netyack (which I like, but which I know Vadim wasn't a fan of) thawder thawda (Dave Neary) serasera akaiky antso antso an-tariby (Philippe Bernery - Malgache words meaning speak or chat) talouni elomia ilenga mokanda parolia jadeya luvanti nexali (Aurelien Gateau - Some of these are African words, I think) Anyway - some ideas in there, surely...
