How about Quatloos then? Except I think Paramount has the copyright on
that...[although it seems to be being used elsewhere].
I agree that dreams sounds a bit twee and would get old fast .. but how
about notions? It's close enough to both dream and note [as in currency],
but far enough I think, that it should be ok. Failing that, how about we
just call them A.U's as in Accounting Units. [and it's a bit of a nod in the
direction of gold and money].
or, you know we could just hold a naming contest after it's up and running,
and let the users decide.
