... Latido Music Studio?
Wait, how do you pronounce Latido?
Is it,
- la (like in "later")
- ti (like in "teeth")
- Do (the note)
?

Latido sounds catchy to me
I often myself pronouncing LMMS as LMS, ~The extra M seems to make me
stutter, but thats just me.
In regards to Unison, This is also the name of a Daw, although on
first glance it has not been updated since jan 2014

I have proven a few times, that I fail at marketing, so I feel i am
not man to ask about timming a rename, but I have no objections

Another idea... Latido.
The Spanish translation is "Beat, throb".
It is a conjunction of the chord-learning solfeggio, i.e.
DO RE MI FA SO *LA TI [DO]*

No. We've been down this road too many times to start
misleading people. When the right name comes up, you'll know
it (much like our logo). When the time is right, the name
will be liked by most everyone.

Yea that's a good strategy to find a great name.
But you compared 3 different things:
- LMMS is a name hiding an acronym
- VLC is an acronym
- While Firefox is a name, or Open Tracks Studio is a name
(and you may call it OTS, which is close to OST, Official
Sound Track, so it's quite easy to remember too, I think)
I find VLC easy to remember thanks to its logo. I don't
know why. Seriously. I may find one of those things on the
highway and call it "a VLC".
Unison seems easy too (even tho I just had to read the
mail again to read it)
But if we end calling it Unison Studio... well... it's "US".
Firefox isn't called "MF" tho...

What sparked the recent idea was watching "XBMC" change
to "Kodi".
I still think something like "Open Tracks Studio"
could be an option
I feel it is a bit too long. I remember when "GAIM"
switched to "Pidgin" and I thought it was ingenious given
the logo (which is a pun, if you didn't know) in addition
to the actual word "Pidgin" (not to be confused with
"Pigeon") which gives it meaning.
Firefox was once called the Mozilla Navigator (or more
commonly installed as part of the Mozilla Suite) and has
a nice ring to it.
I think balancing a short name (pronounceable too,
right?), a memorable name and a name that means something
is the key.
* LMMS is short.
* LMMS is PARTIALLY memorable
* LMMS is NOT easy to pronounce.
* LMMS only PARTIALLY means something.
I even find "Gimp" to work for the 3 bullet points.
But then you have something like VLC:
* VLC is short
* VLC is easy to pronounce
* VLC is memorable (for some strange reason, no one
forgets its name)
* VLC stands for "Video LAN Client" (hardly what it is
used for), so the name is PARTIALLY valid like ours.

Well... I do like Unison (I wouldn't recommend
Dawsonite tho, it's hard to say for latin-like
languages native speakers like me).
I still think something like "Open Tracks Studio"
could be an option, but changing the name right now
is quite a bad idea, we just reached 1.1 version...
We could, like, wait some years, and then, after the
community grows (there is no way it won't grow) make
a public pull about a new name.
We may find the perfect name in the meantime...
Talking about names... Do you find it hard to say
"Cortana" or "Siri"? They're read as I would read
them in Italian, I wonder why would they choose these
names for a global service. Are they easy to say for
any language native speaker?

Reading through Rob's post (from 2010) he mentions
the name "Unison".
I think "Unison Studio" sounds nice.
But, you know, renaming and all... difficult.

Yes, this email thread is originally from 2010.
:) No, I don't think it's wise to rename the
software, just food for thought. :)

Well, as long as we're throwing out our
LMMS naming ideas, here are mine.
I think I submitted them to one of the
developers maybe a year ago, but
can't find the email now, just the text
file I was keeping them in. I
wonder if there's still a point, though,
since Unison is a nice name and it
sounds like it'll make LMMS obsolete
eventually.
"Autonomy", because
- Like other popular Linux audio
tools, it's an abstract noun
starting with "A"
- LMMS has always been more capable as
an "all-in-one",
self-contained tool than other programs
like it
- The word evokes independence and
rugged individualism
- The word also contains "auto" at the
beginning, reflecting
how much work LMMS does for the user
"Ambition", because
- Like other popular Linux audio
tools, it's an abstract noun
starting with "A"
- Ambition is a desirable quality for
a musician, and is something
LMMS will not stand in the way of,
unlike some other tools
- The word also sounds like "ambience"
and "audition"
"Audibility", because
- Like other popular Linux audio
tools, it's an abstract noun
starting with "A"
- The word is a nice cross between
"audio" and "ability"
- It has one more syllable than
"Audacity" but is still catchy ;)
"Freelance", because
- It has "free" in the name
- It has the connotation of
independence and many musicians would
describe themselves with it
- It's not an abstract noun starting
with A, if that bugged you
