Greetings Dave, LOL on the name, I have to admit that it does require a Canadian French perspective. I do not envy the task of trying to come up with another name. The name "WebObjects" was well conceived, and is just as much a concept as it is a technology. Given our current ties to Java, we might consider a coffee name that Sun/Oracle has not already bastardized. It is also a shame that we can't use the Italian chocolate/hazelnut name that seems to be used as a flavor enhancer for coffee. I hear Apple has a leash on that name, too. Maybe, Irish Crème Vodka would work as a name.
Just a thought, Daniel D.
