I'm really stuck trying to name my new content management system, anyone have any good ideas, something that has meaning.
i originally assigned asgard as the project name, but someone brought up that it sounds like something you need for the showers in prison and it put me right off.
Its harder than you think!!!
thanks guys

be creative.
NOC Intranet Tool = N.I.T.
'where is this located?' 'It's on NIT'
Wheelie Dashboard tool
'That is cool' 'I know it's wheelie cool isn't it?'
Plays on words is always a fun one.

Almost anything cool you think of by yourself is going to have been used already, probably for an inferior or deleted product. Google is your friend here.
1. Use Google to find Norse / Greek / French / German etc. girls' / boys' / names, or names for things associated with your product.
(Here's a good site) (http://www.lowchensaustralia.com/names/gods.htm)
2. Pick one you like the feel of.
3. (optional) Alter it slightly if you like, to make it cooler. e.g. Freya -> Phreya
4. Feed the name into Google. If you get more than 10 pages of hits, return to stage 1.
5. If any of the hits are for rival products or carry negative associations, return to stage 1.
