What about a Japanese or Korean name? Europeans and Americans usually
don't have problems with those.
I don't know for Chinese users here.
For example, Muse is Myūzu in Japanese.
Myute?
Like, something is mute if it doesn't make sound. While the program
makes sound...
Was just an example.
However the urban dictionary is biting me...

if we were to listen to all different Latin-derived

Agreed.
I agree that Unison is too common, I would choose it.
This could potentially be a problem if it causes users to sift
through pages of search engine results to find us.
>Wait, how do you pronounce Latido?
Believe it or not, in the US, you'll get many variations.
The word bares resemblance to "Latino", so many will say:
- La (like Lasagna)
- Ti (like in teeth)
- Do (like dough, as in bread)
The correct English pronunciation if this were an English word
would be Dave's translation, but the US butchers most
languages (including English) so we're not a great example.

some strange emphasis variations between the "LA" and the "DI"

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...
Do you think we should first start a pull
about having either a short name or a longer
name with a good acronym?

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.

for latin-like languages native speakers
like me).
I still think something like "Open Tracks

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?

I think "Unison Studio" sounds nice.
But, you know, renaming and all...

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
