First, I vote AGAINST anything with "4" in it. Why 4? You were calling it version 4, but that's a complete misnomer. Currently, it represents the same feature set as the so-called version 3, so there is no reason to call it version 4. In addition, there are three components in it (AVA, JM, HJ), so again there is nothing to indicate "four." Am I missing something here? It seems that any name with four in it or indicating a four (such as the cute "Quattro") is actually misleading. That's as bad as your current process of naming it "version 4".
By process of elimination: 1. Quattro is not only inappropriate but a rip-off of the old Borland name. And it leaves no room for future changes to the suite. 2. DEC4 is a waste, but DEC alone is redundant from Declude, not to mention confusing with Digital Equipment. So that's out. 3. Suite4 can be salvaged by shortening to Suite. This is completely unoriginal, but at least it's honest and clear, leaving no room for doubt. 4. R/4 is another rip-off, and really doesn't explain the collective nature of the different products. 5. Total is probably best, because it is just as clear as "Suite" but a little more original. And it doesn't have a stupid "4" in it. 6. Power Suite4. Again, let's dump the 4. Is "Power Suite" really any better than just "Suite"? Only to marketing types who live on tropical islands and worship Donald Trump. 7. Max4 is another rip-off, and it doesn't explain the collective nature of the combined products. 8. ForePlay sounds good to me. What's your problem? 9. ES4 can be shortened to ES, but that's really just another wordplay on "Suite" and "Power Suite". You guys are kind of in a rut, huh? Sounds like #5 is best, since your Puritan hearts won't let you pick #8. Personally, I think you need to start the contest over and get some new names altogether. Is this really all the names you received? Heck, I could think up better names than this... wait, I did send in some names, and none of them made the list. So you guys filtered the choices before presenting for a vote? I thought you already admitted you don't know how to name products? So why would you try to list only your favorites. Time to go back to #8 (wish I had thought of that one, even though it does have a stupid "4" in it).
