This goes a long way to restore my feelings. Thanks for that, Brendan.

I submit that this is a ridiculous statement. Just make up a name! How
about "Mozby, The Mozilla Browser"? Or, pick a common name such as "Madeline".

What you may be finding hard is to find a name which has some semantic
content that relates to the situation but which has not already taken. That
I can believe.

I think we tend to place too much stock in the cleverness of these code
names. So, if it is so hard to accomplish this, just give up trying and use
a name which is not so laden. Problem solved.
