Suggestions for software naming

[webfork]

• One post on our site points out how you can build a program name from latin root words.

• Start with a keyword to randomly generate possible names ... although it's meant for businesses and most of the results don't make sense, I did find some good terms I liked

• Naming tips for businesses and for apps - while neither are quite the landscape that you'll see with freeware, there's some good ideas here.

Etymological dictionaries and anagram generators can also be good sources for ideas, IMHO.

E.g.: https://www.etymonline.com/

Yeah that's probably number 1. We also have a few same-named programs here on the site so choosing something unique to your area would also be a good check.

Great suggestion. I just entered "tools" and that immediately came up with some interesting words: https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=tools

If it's going to be sold/distributed globally or in an area with a different language, maybe check the definition of the word(s) to make sure your NOT using profanity/insulting words/terms or such.

Good point, thepiney. Nobody wants the repeat the mistake of Chevrolet with the Nova -- it sold in Latin-american markets where "No va" means "doesn't go", i.e., doesn't run...
