Hello,
As this forum is a enormous collection of creative minds, I though id ask you people here if your could help me and my buddys.
We are on the brink of starting our own web/development company, and we are in great need if a good name. The name we are looking for _is_:
- One word long- Thing we'd like as a name (that are taken) "konjin", "sijun", "dhabih" and names like that.
The name we are looking for is NOT:
- anything like "cybercom computing"
- closely tied to computers an tech
- not something that means different things for different people. Like "god" and other bad names.
Well, i guess this is a long shot . If you come up with a name we will use, there will be some kind of reward - as soon as we have the possibillity to repay it.
hope youll give us a lot of suggestions, Id love to see some drawings too

How about, _Bukake_
or a name that brings to mind aging Macintosh hardware? Hmm, no.
Sorry, couldn't help it.
Here's a suggestion. You and your friends should come up with some names, post them, and we'll give you reactions. Thing is, you could use a name that makes no sense to anyone, makes immediate sense, or is humorous and if the work is amazing, the name will be associated with great talent.

Good point drimmen, here's a list:
mantis
razorfish (taken)
colony
hive
a historic event (like a battle or something)
a godname (zeus and likes, but some obscyre god, preferrably japanese)
pinion
goon
Those are "kinda good", like mantis the most. but it should be combined with something else..
