MusicBottle/Name suggestions

Pending suggestions

HipFlask

• References: flasks, hipsters
• Pro:
  • I like how it sounds -- Caller_number_six (talk)
    • Indeed; this is the first name other than MusicBottle that actually sounds like a passable name to me, but without the shared-initials problem Ianmcorvidae (talk) 23:44, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
• Cons:
  • Nothing to do with music, zombies or databases
    • The project only really has anything to do with the first one of those three anyway :) Ianmcorvidae (talk) 23:44, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Maybe such an explicit reference to flask is a bad thing
    • Even if the project switches from Flask the web framework to something else, the name alone isn't too bad; I don't think it's a problem. Ianmcorvidae (talk) 23:44, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

MusicBottle

• What we're using (for) now.
• Good:
  • Music for MusicBrainz
  • Bottle for Flask
  • Bot-tle (a bit far-fetched, and it's not really that automated either)
  • Can produce decent catch phrases and visuals (bottling music, unplugged, messages in bottles, bottled ships, ...)
• Not so good:
  • "MB" can be both MusicBrainz and MusicBottle

MusicZombie

• References "music" and is built up like FooBrainz.
• Zombies eatz brainz, we feed on MusicBrainz data.
• Zombie has a "z" like in *Brainz.
• MZ is easily distinct from MB. :)
• Can easily use the purple/orange theme and is easy to make a visual identity/mascot with/for.
  • Am I alone in wanting to de-emphasize the purple/orange theme? -- Caller_number_six (talk)
    • We do not absolute have to use purple/orange if we don't want to. :) --Freso (talk) 15:13, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Tongo Rad

• It's rad.
  • This wasn't really a serious proposal, but he does fit the MB color scheme! -- Caller_number_six (talk)
• Apart from being rad, he's also quite the funky guy.
• Star Trek reference

User:ijabz:ijabz My two cents, I see no point linking the name to the underlying technology, its irrelevant for a website aimed at music lovers not coders, I think it should at least have some reference to Music or MusicBrainz even if quite tenuous, and I would drop the purple/orange theme, although I like both colours I don't think they look very good together, in fact look very outdated to me.

Heres are a couple, which arent very good but might help seed an idea
