Well, it does have the virtue of not attempting to explain all its
functions in the name (and it's not Vuvuzela!), but Phoenix is a very
popular name.  There are at least a couple of Phoenix Audio companies
out there already.

I actually came up with Phoenix, back on the community funded squeezebox
thread, along with Open Music Box, which did make the list.

As has been mentioned before, I recommend you stay away from squeeze or
slim variants.  I am sure Logitech owns those trademarks and will take
steps to protect their property.  It is not worth the hassle.

Why not astronomical objects , it is tried and tested Sirius ,Spica

Maybe not reuse Cygnus Cygnus audio the black hole for your money

+1 for the Harmonium, Accordion theme.

OK, so Accordion was mine (but Harmonium wasn't), but if I don't cheat a
bit we're likely to end up with something with 'Open' in the name, or,
heaven forbid, Vuvuzela!

While I'm at it, how about SB4, SB5 etc?  Do you think Logitech have

Can't wait for the first postings saying:

'I've just bricked my Brikk'

It's really not appropriate:

To brick it - means to be frightened to do something.  And in the
process of bricking it, you may just pass a brick (or a large fecal
deposit)! 


It all reminds me of an instant coffee once sold in South Africa - this
was called 'Puke' - believe it or not!

decisions :)

But you are rigth it is really really really hard to come up with names
on stuff .

Where I work it is often [company name] + [vaguelly relevant acronym] +
[number ,usually higher than the predecessor ]

company name sends a message directly , so it helps .

You could also include a hint to the principles of operation or physical
atribute if they are kind of novel or cool Jet powered compact .

Or hint at the result or design goals , like a really silent vacuum
cleaner that has silent in the name .

In that realm I Think names such as Transporter or Touch works really
well , Squeezebox is just as silly as our jokes but we got used to it .

Ah yes, it can create a few problems if you choose the wrong name.

I remember a software music player/database with the name Teen Spirit.
The developer decided to change the name to Conium, which can mean an
extract from hemlock that can be used to treat spasmodic disorders. I
suppose music calms the savage beast. It now has the name Jaangle (good
name, good player). 

Mind you, I could do with a sip of conium now.

 Some ideas based on this page:
 http://www.operaamerica.org/content/education/learningCenter/glossary.aspx
 Someone into opera or from Italy will have to confirm which are
 good/bad:
 
 - BelCanto - An Italian phrase literally meaning beautiful singing.
 - Crescendo - A gradual increase in volume. (Maybe a bit hard to spell
 ?)
 - EnCore - Literally means again. It used to be the custom for a
 singer to repeat a popular aria if the audience called encore loudly
 enough.
 - Maestro - Literally master; 
 - Overture - An orchestral introduction to an opera.
 
 Maybe using these alone or combining these with some other words would
 make a cool name for it ?
 - MusicMaesto
 - SqueezeMaestro
 - SqueezeEnCore
 - BelCantoBox
 - BelCantoStreamer
 - OpenEnCore
 - OvertureStreamer
 - CrescendoStreamer
 - StreamEnCore

Hi,

I like the idea of this thread and as I am Italian I have been thinking
about the following  names:

OperaBox
OperettaBox
ConcertinoBox
RossiniBox

On top of that I really love the Italian Opera as it reminds me when I
was a little kid I was used to going to watch Opera with my
grandfather...especially because he was buying for me a lot of sweets:)

We can probably continue this forever...
Mainly posted in case anyone else want to find more clever use of latin
or similar language which barely none of us really know so they can be
used to create cool words that isn't immediately obvious what they mean.

I like Erland's Melodia - it sounds nice, musical (close to melody),
is simple and easy to remember.

My own contribution:

HARMONIUM

[image:

originally an Accordion in a box.  In other words a squeezbox in a box!

Otherwise +1 for SlimBox, although that is possibly a bit close to
SlingBox

There's a lot of good suggestions here, but I think there's a few
principles that ought to be adhered to that will cull about half the
list.

1. It shouldn't encroach on someone else's name/trademark/IP. 


 - BelCanto is out: as has been mentioned, there is a hifi
company by that name. 

 - You'll probably get a nastygram from Logitech if you were to
use the phrases Squeeze or Slim or the like anywhere in the title.


2. Googling should yield relevent results.


 - Doing a search for juice box or music box is going to
give you a lot of results for anything but the device.
