What's in a name?

Turns out our current domain might not be a keeper, longterm, anyway. So here’s a thread to throw around some ideas for names.

Imported from the What IS this place? thread;[quote=“tinoesroho, post:20, topic:33, full:true”]
One person suggested Joyful Inhumans (take that, Marvel!). Maybe metahumans?

I like this kind of thing, but it needs to be weird enough that the domain will actually be available.

Maybe something like Carnaval Noir? Carnival is sympathetic to diversity of subject matter.

@KeisterButton: with your MuchasMutantes were you alluding to the latin phrase mutatis mutandis? I was toying with something like that…

@Haystack: true, but these days there are so many TLD options that as long as it’s not something that somebody else is actually using the .com of, its possible to still find a good name with a .co or .space or something.

No, but looking at the latin phrase that’s very clever! Also weird enough to perhaps not already be taken: reaccommutated.

I always liked Cory’s idea of an adhocracy, which is kind of how it feels like this board has come abount, so that’s my contribution

In my college days, we experimented with a randomocracy; every week (unless a special election was called) there would be a coin toss to decide who was the president of the apartment. Suffice to say that when people say “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others” they are particularly right about randomocracies.

Personally I like the holacracy model;

I definitely like “Caligari” as a domain name.

To get the word out we should announce that we’ve abducted Jackhammer Jill and are holding her for ransom.

So far I’m fond of ‘Pandora’ - has both the ‘new world’ and ‘box of problems’ double meaning.

I’m sort of leaning towards more generic words - in the spirit of Plastic and Suck. Not that there are any common words left as domain names, but maybe there’s some variations we can find with a .ly or .it or .co or .de extension…
