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.

    Everybody knows what Kazza Lite is, a bloated down (?) version of the same thing. Keep consistent - do the same with Mozilla.

    The "-zilla" bit should be kept for advocacy. I was worried about the Phoenix name - now i had just convinced my friends to use Mozilla, i have to tell them to change to Phoenix instead.

    BTW "Zilla" is a very good name! Both for how it sounds and for advocacy. If the new name is Zilla, well - half of the work is already done! 8)

    So you end up with Zilla. If Zilla's not enough browser for you, get Mo'Zilla. ...*cough*

    Along those lines, maybe Phoenix should be Less'Zilla.
