My personal favorite so far is "Jonsai" (as in Java + Bonsai) that
Michael D. suggested in a lunch conversation last week.
Bonsai might give a perception of small, and not 'BigTree' kind at all
Right, that's why I was trying to come up with something starting from
the "big tree" idea. The mentioned "BigTree" is IMHO too clunky and
way too close to the already existing "Bigtop" project [1]. The idea
Justin was leading with Sequioa (Redwood), Cypress or something
similar seems promising, but most of such names are already used in
the software domain. A slightly mangled name like in "Jonsai" might
work here.
One possible alternative is the "Oak" name I've been using in a
somewhat related effort within Apache Labs [2]. That effort never went
I personally like oak a lot. In general I am, but that is of course
just taste, not too charmed with:
1) portmanteau's like jonsai
2) with very complex to write and remember names like Leporidae (sry Nour)
Oak is catchy, I like oaks, everybody knows what they are, easy to
remember and pronounce, and, for what it's worth, the JIRA key can be
the same as the project name :)
+1 for oak

too far, so if people like it we could reuse the name for jr3. Quoting
from my Labs mail about the name: "PS. The project name is based on a
subplot about a mighty oak-tree [3] in the Finnish national epic
Kalevala. It's also a reference to the large-scale tree hierarchy
inherent in the planned Oak architecture. I know the name conflicts
with the old name of Java and a few other projects out there, but at
least for the duration of the lab I think the name is unique enough."
