Quickly, how about TROXYP for Tropical XYP? can be pronounced Troksip.

But there already is a file manager called Nexus.

Not much to recommend it, but his font viewer is quite good.

But names ending in ...xys is a promising avenue, as anything ending in ...xy sounds kind of frivolous to me.

LEXYS anyone?

lexys.com is (maybe) available

Good work on the font find btw

Fritz Quadrata - Example at linotype.com
Note that as usual the white on black feels "denser" than black on white.

Great, thanks (for the font)!

Nexys is nice (I associate Henry Miller with a digital twist). Oh, how I love those domain name resellers!

Don's put the name issue to rest but he does keep coming back to it. So, while ideas keep coming...

Yes, strange, but I cannot stop playing with ideas. Help!

Cortex ... too medical.
Linnaeus ... too hard to spell.
TROXYP ... too weird.
LEXYS ... leads me away from a file manager.

Found a nice random name generator:

I once wrote a German first names generator:

Can be very funny, especially with a little help of certain substances.

Interesting. Yes, found some funny sounding ones after few clicks.

xynture

Pronounced "zenture."
An alteration of "venture," which is a synonym for "explore."

Catchy--yes?

Yes, but nobody can remember, write, read, pronounce, or understand it.

XYBERNAUT

It's got XY still intact and prominent.
It's a play on 'cybernaut' - a navigator/explorer of cyberspace.
Most people will get the meaning and pronounciation.

And the "Xybernaut Corporation...was founded in 1990" and xybernaut.com is already f***king taken! Can you believe that?

But
XYBER
xyber.com is still available

As are some of these
XYBERNET
XYBERSPACE
XYBERZONE
XYBERPUNK
XYBERIA
XYBERFILE
XYBERG
XYBORG
XYBERSERK
XYBERMAN
XYBERTRON
XYBERTRACKER
XYBER COMMANDER
XYBER OPUS

...and there are many other xyber- prefixed possibilities. But time to go.

Actually XYBER may be better than XYBERNAUT, especially in the context it will be used.

XYBER file manager.

Nice and short, easy to remember, only two syllables that convey a lot of meaning...

...mmmmmmm.

Unfortunately no: http://www.xyber.com is not available anymore.

Some animal inspired names:

MANTYX
Like the praying mantis.

ORYOLE
Like Oriole (the Orange/black bird)

SIMBYX
Simba means lion in swahili

btw, i once suggested KOFIMAN, short for Koeln File Manager, still weird?

Oops, I just went direct to the site. Didn't do a whois.
OK, I'm definitely done for today.

Kman
Just my real name written in reverse order. K is easy to make cool icon; man = management.
