      How do you come up with your projects' names? Seriously, I have lots of ideas that go to waste just because I can't find a name...

        Try something completely unrelated but thought provoking, like Kama Sutra for example. :)

        Depending on your definition of thought, phrases like that may actually be considered to reduce my thought process. :rolleyes:

            Don't do that everywhere, like you dont have kids because you cannot come up with the name :doh: :-D No start the project with some generic name, until you find the product name. like if you working on a Project Management website, call it 'ProjectManagement', once you are done with it. spend some time looking for a product name. and if it is website, first look for a domain name, because product name without available domain name is useless.

                              Give it a name that has absolutely nothing to do with its purpose, then give a different (but similarly inappropriate) name to its executable. Then you have to name the installation program "setup.exe", and include a readme file that only states system requirements, and does not give a clue as to what the program is or does. And make sure that the installer installs the program in a subdirectory of PF that is named after what you might name a company if you owned one (or after a favourite uncle; something like that), and that any Start menu shortcuts are also placed in a subdirectory with a name that says nothing whatsoever about the program itself. Once you have implemented all of these points, you may freely enter the realm of professional shareware developers.

                                  Taking the same steps, and then just adding a "G" or "K" to the front of the name will grant you access to the Freetard Slave Foundation (FSF) and be suitable for distribution on systems like Gnome and KDE.
