This is a hilarious thread with so many intelligent and witty participants 
– thank you all!
There are already too many contributions for me to stay on top of 
everything. Sorry if I overlooked something.

I would like to *spray in* a few thoughts of my own, starting with this 
snippet from Arlen:

That’s exactly what it does: For me, the hook that persuaded me to try TW 
was the philosophy stated on the card (?) about TiddlyWiki on 
tiddlywiki.com: <https://tiddlywiki.com/#TiddlyWiki>

The fundamental idea <https://tiddlywiki.com/#Philosophy%20of%20Tiddlers> 
> is that information is more useful and reusable if we cut it up into the 
> smallest semantically meaningful chunks [...]
>

So my goal would be to preserve this fundamental idea in the name. If it 
isn’t a Tiddler any longer, what could it be? I have a long list and a 
clear favourite, so I will spare you the list. 

Second best: *WaterWiki* (we can decide later if Wiki should stay part of 
the name). Water is as vital for humans as thinking is. Big Data is 
collected in data *lakes*, TW has a *river*, the story river and helps to 
stay in the *flow* of writing. Information in TW can find its way like 
magic and appear in other places like water following streams under the 
earth’s surface ... you can find more analogies, I am sure. Now what is the 
smallest entity we can find in water? Is it atomic? H and O? Molecular: 
H2O? In my personal logic, atoms are characters and molecules are words. 
(Of course, if you want to support AtomicWiki, then there are electrons and 
protons and tachyons and I don’t know what.) But back to the picture in my 
brain ... what’s next?

*DropWiki* is a perfect fit.

A drop can become everything. A sip, damp, ice. It comes with a bonus layer 
of fascination: drag and *drop*. My update process (not the official way, I 
know!): I drop my wiki on the latest version of empty.html. Add a plugin: 
drop it on your wiki. Transfer tiddlers: drag a title or a tagpill or 
export json using a filter ... and tadaaa: 
drop it on your wiki. *Tired of Evernote? Drop it.*

Do you have to let that *sink* in? No problem, I have more ideas, but they 
can wait. *Drop me a line* or *throw a bucket of* answers in my direction 
;–)
 
Cheers,
Thomas
