Well, yea, I just don't think its that appealing. A web browser is a major application and should be appropriatly named. I personally like THE REAPER. "The Reaper kills the competition and harvests information like never seen before." Mytholigical names should be given to something sufficiently grand to warrant its use, ie. Apollo, or Ariane. I think the best example is Jaques Cousteau's "Calypso" but only because his use of the little WWII minesweeper was an outstanding example of early environmentalism. Btw, the Calypso was originally christened Calypso. Cousteau just kept the name.
