Summary: We need a creative productname…
We've developped a new application that will be released soon and
because it's so simple (fe. installation within 3 seconds) yet
effective will be used by lots of users worldwide.
It enhances the use of e-mail (mail-server and -client independent)
with about 20 functions for home-users (fe. absolute-spam control,
automatic (un)zipping, auto-replier, parental control,
template-replier, etc) and business-users (POP3 to IMAP4 conversion,
batched SMTP, auto-encryption, employee-check, legal e-mail
registration, etc, etc).
The application has been developed by top-10 profesionals only, has no
user-interface (everything is done automatically or by instruction
e-mails) and garanteed by a notary to not hold any form of spy-ware.
The license-fee for the application is only about 10-20 US.
We've invested heavily in development, and require a product name that
can be claimed worldwide (including all top-level domains) because of
planned merchandising.
Project-title during development was CTRL/MAIL (Control Mail). Any
combination of words with the word ‘mail' however is claimed, or
somehow used in a different way (by freeware, etc.). We've thought of
1000 of names, like himail, goldmail, e-mail2, nextmail, mail
enhancer, mail extender, etc, etc, etc. No luck there.
The final approach we've selected is to get a word that doesn't exist
at all, just like Google once did. So we came up with words like
hakkadoo, ippix, dadido and ipsiwipsi. Bit childisch though.
What we're looking for is a word
1. That CAN be related somehow to e-mail or the internet (not
mandatory)
2. MUST be non-existing worldwide (ie. Google may NOT return anything)
3. MUST consist out of 3 parts maximum (like max-i-mum)
4. NO website may exist that raises confusion (like mail-secretary
confuses with mailsecretary)
5. MAY NOT raise questions about how it's spelled (fe. ipsidipsi is
okay, Aksiudoepsila is not;-)
6. MAY sound funny
7. MUST be free on all TLD's (not only .com, but also .hk, .to, etc.)
8. MUST sound international, or AT LEAST US-english
9. MAY NOT be a word in any language (like what Microsoft did with the
word ‘hooker' in Spanish a few years ago).
10. PREFERABLY can be converted to a verb (like "You should google
him")
We're looking to get as many options as possible, as soon as possible.
The one that is selected (and approved by our marketing department)
will be rewarded by a round trip for two to Florida or Amsterdam for a
nice weekend in the summer of 2005 with the developers.
Confidentiality and rights about the final name will be arranged in a
written contract (that's why we want you to come to Florida or
Amsterdam;-).
Hope there are some creative people here...
Kind regards,
Peter

"Google" was taken from an existing mathematical term meaning (to the degree
required by its founders) "a very big number"...if you want a word that doesn't
exist, it's not difficult to write a program to generate a lot of them...I did
this a few years ago as an exercise in REXX...this is the same program that
created "filted"...I just had it spin out 250 "words", none of which is
guaranteed not to mean something in some language...maybe one of the following

Dunno what *he* thought. I thought it was to do with bowling googlies
like The Badminton Magazine said in 1907 "The googlies that do not
google." Or the Westminster Gazette in 1909 "Mr. Lockhart, having
'googled' to no purpose from the 'nursery' end."
Of course, I was torn between that and its use at one time instead of
"goggle".

And differently from that, too. |

Goggle. The phrase "googly eyes" survived from that usage. |

It's faulty -- it has "donation", a common word, right there near the
beginning. I didn't look farther.

The REXX source code was eaten by badgers some years ago...I can put the source
of a PL/1 port up at an accessible web location this evening if you'd like?...
It's driven by a table of the "most common" letters, digraphs and trigraphs...I
originally intended it for generating one-off passwords...the application using
it would display a nonsense word (but one that bore some resemblance to
pronounceable and easy-to-type English) and ask the user to type it back...this
would keep people from overriding the "confirm" option with a command shorthand
and inadvertently doing Something Awful...accordingly, the frequency tables were
tweaked to prevent certain objectionable words....r |
