[tor-talk] please suggest a new project name for Anonymous Operating System

[adrelanos]

Hi

TorBOX has been renamed to aos as a quick fix to avoid confusion and to
solve trademark issues. [1] Aos stands for for Anonymous Operating System.

"aos" has way too many meanings and Google results already. [2]
Therefore I want to rename aos just one more time.

The current website is still hosted on tpo [3]. A VPS has been purchased
and the website will soon be migrated to the new webserver. Also a
domain will soon be purchased.

I'd be nice if you could make suggestions for a good project name.
Things like "anonym.os", "anonymous.os", "anon.os" are already taken.

The project name should project the nature of the project (anonymous
operating system). It shouldn't lead to any confusion or trademark
issues. There shouldn't be any relevant results when searching for
"projectname" in quotes on Google. The project name should also be
usable as a nice domain name.

Cheers,
adrelanos

My latin is a bit rusty but how about "occulta" I believe that means
hidden..or to Hide.

A project with that exact name already exists.

GygesOS might be too culture-bound.

I also like this one. Unfortunately, it's already taken. Someone on
mysapce has a site with that name.

Competition for the name is bad. When people google for "Tor", they find
torproject.org as first result (after the advertisements). When people
google for my project name, I want the homepage to be the first result.

I suggest Nymmos

Nym is a alias and "mos" sounds like animal so..

You make a mascot which symbolizes your os. Get some deviantart people to
make drawings.

This is the "Nymmos" a creature of great skills and legendary cunning.

It is pronounce as Nim moose.

best feature; google thinks you are looking for nymphos so namespace is
free :)

Case

[antispam06]

How about Nobody's (distribution)?

Personally, I think it's not so important to have a name that tells
you what the product is. Tor's doing okay, after all, without being
called "Anonymaster" or "Streamhider" or whatever.

I'd also suggest heading over to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placeholder_names_in_different_languages
and finding something with a very low search-engine hit count.

PandOS

As in Pandoras OS as in Pandoras Box.
Main feature: Have a Panda for a logo. ;)

Hendrik

God damn why is nobody listening to me :D

Nymmos!

Its perfect :)

Nymm = nym = alias

OS = OS

Almost no search engine hits, sounds like animal so you can create a
mascot like Tux, and Google thinks your trying to spell Nymphos!

What more could you want?

All hail the might Nymmos, fleet of foot and speed like the wind!

I have no idea what your software does but if you don't take this I shall
have to patent it :D

I really like Nymmos

Don't look any further...

Though one last option now pops into my mind

AliOS - as in alias.
