Phoenix Project Considers A Name Change

Posted by timothy on from the what-about-anka-or-pheng dept.

Magpie writes "Recently Blake Ross, a developer of the Phoenix web browser, has made a post on the Mozillazine forums looking for a new name for the project. Apparently the people over at Phoenix Technologies decided that the name interferes with their trademark since they make an 'internet access device .'" Maybe they could start with this list.

  1. "Geoduck"? by PhysicsGenius · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    Reasons:

    1) It's pronounced "gooey-duck" which not only is reminiscent of "GUI" but is also non-intuitive, perfect for a Linux app.

    2) The "duck" part is another bird.

    3) The geoduck is a very large, slow creature. Much like Phoenix, despite their claims.
