Checking suggested name for already registed trademarks (was [jira] Commented: (ADFFACES-6) Missing name for the ADF Faces donation)

[Matthias Wessendorf <ma...@apache.org>]

Hi Ted,

once you mentioned the website to check possible names for already
registered trademarks. Can you point us to the desired URL ?

I'd like to check the names before starting a vote.
Something like Topaz sounds cool to me, but I guess that this pretty
cool name has been taken, for instance.

Thanks,
Matthias

I compiled the list of all the names we got (in the order we received
them) except for the Indian tribe names which seem to be out of the
question.
Here they are:
Visages
Moai
Sequoia
Shades
Prophet
MyFacesGold
Foxberry
Hikari
Chagall
Picasso
Da Vinci
Surface
Chameleon
Tofu
Okamak
Tonga
Togo
Topaz
Topiary
Torino
Toscanini
Toucan
Toyon
Sundance

For the meaning of some of these names, refer to this page:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ADFFACES-6?page=comments#action_12414117

I would like to suggest that the community narrows down this list to a
couple or a few so we can have a vote. Please select a couple that you
really want to keep to we can eliminate the other ones.

Cheers.
