Well, if you mainly want to appeal to / capture memeshare from people with a serious academic/linguistic/coding bent, you can be as obscure as you want. Make each name an anagram of a metaphor of something sugary, followed by the one's digit of the year in which the project was founded. Or what a

Re: [Sugar-devel] Soas name

To the contrary, the words Sugar on a Stick actually mean something. Actually they mean two things: Sugar environment on a USB stick in the context of software, and a kind of candy in the context of food. Lollipop or Rock Candy means nothing in the context of software unless you *know* you are al
