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.

    I vote for "Anka".

    It's just like Phoenix, only it can carry off elephants (read between the lines here). ;+)

    According to the list:
    Anka
    Arctic mythical bird that was said to carry off elephants. It was also believed to live for 1700 years and, like the phoenix, had the ability to burn and renew itself.

    Lame replying to my own post I know but I just had an idea. Follow my progress ...

    Explorer Killer
    Explorer Killa
    Exilla
    Xilla
    Zilla

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