Help me in naming my engine...
I've been working on my full 3d engine since 2000, and now it's an almost complete one which has lots of features (+documentation also) and can make up an entire game (it has extensive support for sound, input/output and network), any way, currently it's named PowerX, but I'm going to refine it and I intend to give it a new name.
What do you suggest for it?
Gerk?
Heck, call it whatever you like man (including gerk)
Chances are that the reason you're giving such a vague description of what exactly you're after is because you don't really know (or care?)
All you want really is a flashy logo right? & they're a dime a dozen (took me a couple of mins)
Well on a more serious note - I don't know about everyone else, but as I'm working on something I just tend to get a "feel" for a name by the way it acts
Pick some kind of theme that you feel encompasses it & what it does & keep it consistant
But if you don't get a feel for a word - just make one up?
Slap on a pretty logo & away you go. right?
Surely this doesn't warrent a thread?
Oh wait maybe I'm just making this petite because it's 5am & I still ain't slept yet
Damnit erm.. well @ least this posting made as much specific sense as the question :P
I better sleep..

I usually just find a stupid name via some sort of a word generator on the net. I don't really care about the name, I just want it to be short, something like 4 letters, because I'm going to write it again and again ;-), and be pronounce-able in most languages :-P
Like Ogre, Cube, Neo and Nebula. Most of us know what a person is talking about when he/she mentions these, so the name shouldn't matter too much as long as your engine is something out of the ordinary.
