As Round 1 set the cat amongst the pigeons, it only seemed fair to follow it up with a Round 2, taking the top 2 winners from Round 1 and combining them with a few others, including the much-requested "I don't care/call it what you like/they're all rubbish" option.
Bear in mind this is likely to be purely a codename, while we wait patiently for some marketing god to give up their Sonos, buy a Squeezebox and put us all to shame with the perfect moniker. So here are the nominations (drumroll...) *Open Music Box* - The most popular choice from Round 1, Open Music Box is probably the least pretentious name choice but its initials (OMB) make a great codename which provides future variations.... "Boom OMB", "Touch OMB", "Wireless OMB"... oh what fun. (Suggested by erland) *Melodia* - On the other end of the pretentiousness scale we have "Melodia", meaning "pleasant song" in Latin. I can almost see the flowing calligraphic text emblazoned in graphite on the front. (Suggested by erland) *Phoenix* - A name with meaning; the Squeezebox -shall- rise from the ashes. However it is a popular choice for consumer products (presumably with similar reincarnations) which could prove tricky in the future, but as a codename is perfectly acceptable. (Suggested by P Nelson) *Harmonic* - I missed this from the first round due to its closeless to music-game-developers "Harmonix" but public pressure has demanded this be included, and for good reason; it's a great word and captures the subtlety of well-reproduced music. (Suggested by dustinsterk) *None of the Above* - Choose this if you mean "I don't like any of 'em", "I think name choosing is pointless", "Let the hardware team decide", "Box Wot Makes Noises", etc. I could separate them about but as they would all lead to the same thing - a codename being chosen by the hardware team - we might as well combine them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ simbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11481 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98200 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
