I found this comment interesting: "What about something less definite and more 'code word'? What about not having the word 'web'? 'Arctic' or 'Telsa' or something completely meaningless but catchier than 'Web .*$"
I think if a proper name is choosen along these lines, the result is something better than the relatively pedestrian names currently being bandied about (not that any of them are especially bad, just a little, bland). How about something like "Webementals", fusing Web and Elementals (signifying pieces that combine to form a larger whole)? I think a "code word"-type name is more interesting and meorable (once a person knows what its all about), but it should still have some connection to what the project is all about. The argument against of course is that you won't know at a glance what its all about. I think something clever enough can overcome this and still be a bit more exciting.
