Looking for a name

July 26, 2009 at 6:24 pm | Posted in Spectrum | 3 Comments

I want to buy domain for my project and also start with building first testing packages, so I’m looking for better project name :) . The name should be somehow associated with libpurple (that’s the library which transport uses to connect to all networks it supports). It doesn’t mean you have to name it “purple something”, but it would be cool to name it according to something purple (for example eggplant) :) . Also, the idea of “transporting” is important. The name should somehow express that this software is Jabber Transport (so It can for example refer to some mythological gateway, bridge…). Also there is need to have availabla domain name and don’t have any trademark collisions (so try to use google to search the name first)

So far, my friends suggested me these names:

1. Bifrost – Why? Article on wikipedia. I think with the use of this ASCII version, it’s not so bad name, but it’s not “killer name” and on the first look there is no association with transport or purple :) .

2. Purpleation – purple + transportation. I think idea is good, but for me it’s hard to read it because of these vowels in the middle.

If you want to help me and you have some ideas, please leave a comment.

  1. An old project of mine was called “PurpleBridge”. If you like it, feel free to pick it. :)

    • Thanks for your idea :) . We’re now thinking about “Spectrum” or “Spectrum transport”.

  2. How about simply ‘Carrier’?

    ie, a ‘pidgin’ used to transport messages between to distant ‘locations’.

    Possibly bordering on the cliché but it ties in both the Pidgin pigeon logo and the transport aspect.

    Best of luck completing your summer project. :)
