Ok. I think I got it. Something that makes sense, kinda rolls off the tongue, has good alphabetical ordering, and allows a broad umbrella of functionality, and based off of english words that directly correspond to our feature set:
Apache Aplsec Prounounced like "Apple Sec", similar to the pronunciation of the liqueur, Triplesec. APLlication SECurity. Although Shiro seemed somewhat agreeable, it is kind of a correlation leap to come back to security - no easy tie-in or obvious recognition to application security. There are also NO results for a full US Trademark and Name Search (all fields, either live or dead records). No products or projects with that name that I can find. Also, I guess one benefit of having a name without the 'J' at the front is that we can (if the project team so chooses) start to support other languages, like ActionScript for Flash/Flex applications, or C# for windows apps, etc. Just a thought. It may never come in to play, but hey - I'm brainstorming... Whaddya think?
