The name "TrackerV3"...

Post by **admin** » 19 Nov 2005 11:31

Well, frankly I never liked "TrackerV3" as a name!

But I never changed it because I always thought: it's too late now. Well, it's still too late, but on the other hand: it's never too late!

So, let's hear some killer-names for a file manager!

Of course, the new name should be new in the field of file managers, it should not sound like a non-filemanager, it should not contain numbers (like TrackerV3

), and a [killer-name].com domain should be available.

I'm not sure any of these are ideal, and they don't have open .com domains, but maybe they can be used as ideas. Finding an open .com domain (or .net for that matter) is just about impossible anymore.

--FileX
--FileEx
--FilePlus
--UltraFile

(Evidently my mind is stuck on the word "file")

I like this one the best. Do you have more from papiamento? Do you speak papiamento??

I like still zackoflex the best.

What's your favorite so far?

I think if you plan to change a "well" established name to anything new, it should at least resemble some function to be expected of the thingy hidden behind that name.
I still opt for "tracker" cause that's what it does, help us to keep track of our files or to track down lost ones.
"zackoflex" hints for me only to something fast and flexible but that's it, and the "zacko" = fast might even be influenced by my German mother tongue.
What's the meaning then for people with English mother tongue?
