Personally, I have no particular sense of how it should work.  I'm an
engineer.  I've never been to marketing school, nor do I think I would
do very well if I were to go to one.

Ok, well, I have a long list of other names I wrote down today.  I got
most of them from other people in a chat room.  :)  I'm sure there are
repeats from the past discussions on the list.  Try to recombine some
of them to see what we get.

Liberator
Emancipator
Barbarian
Rolling Thunder
Infinite Justice
Badger
Steamroller
Violator
FoxGrafx
Unity
Harmony
Coolinator
Coolatron
Quicksilver
(Hey, Quicksolver would be a great name for a high-end math app.)
Paradigm
Singularity
Feronia
Ninja
Duellon
42
Inari

One I like is "Emancipator."  It makes the point, but it's potentially
a politically-charged word.  That can help you, or it can byte you in
the butt.

I've also developed a pattern, based on a popular series of graphics
cards.  For this reason, I don't suggest the names so much that I
suggest that others use them to come up with other patterns that are
not a ripoff:

Heleon
Neneon
Argeon
Krypteon
Xeneon
