How about Macon... from Mac[hinery] + con[nection]. A small city, also a

Re: About name change -- Lucon, Lukon
Posted by Karl Wright <da...@gmail.com>.
Omnivore, perhaps? A little more findable... Of course, now the humorist
in me tries to extend this in obviously wrong directions, like "Apache
Yardsale" and "Apache VacuumCleaner". ;-)
Tying to Lucene seems like not quite the right idea, in my view, but we can
vote on it.

Maybe we should just ask Doug Cutting's kid to come up with a name ;-)
FWIW, we should also think about names that are findable. Omni is likely to be buried in any search engine
Of course, it's easy to be the critic, much harder to come up with a good suggestion.

Re: About name change -- Acromantula
Posted by Jack Krupansky <ja...@lucidimagination.com>.
Brand names are better when they are less purely descriptive or simply
indirectly descriptive.
I'm okay with Acromantula if people want it, especially since it seems to
adhere to all the Apache guidelines, but since I am unable to pronounce it,
I would be able to promote it via "word of mouth"!
Or, might J. K. Rowling sue us for stealing her work?

I don't personally like it. There are enough HP software names out there, IMO and I think it is non-obvious how to pronounce it.

I don't find any obvious software uses of the name. I don't find it
terribly descriptive though - multiplex/manifold wins in my opinion.
Acromantula is also available and is more descriptive:
