+Suggested names by everyone, please don’t repeat
Lets just combine them in a large list, no names added. This will remove redundancy.
### Criteria:
### Criteria Discussion:
-8 or less chars? 10 would be a better max why? I like shorter, but good names can be longer :) then why not up it to 20 why 10?
-Hard limit isn’t good, it’s able to be recognized when a name is insanely long.

Why do you think it would be a good idea?
-\* Neuxiom: Portmanteau of New and Axiom, pronoucable, has only 1 hit on Google, and uses most of the letters from Nexuiz, thus enhancing recognition. difficult to pronounce Logical truncation of it is “Neux”, which is ambiguous when pronounced (Nukes vs Neux)

It’s suppose to be pronoucned as French, but NewX also works Neu-ee-om? Neu-ecks I mean the full name. Alone I’d pronounce Neux as in veux, but inside “Neuxiom” I’d use a hard X. (Nooks-ee-om is also possible). That’s intended, it’s a combination of New Axiom into one word
-\* Itoma: In Japanese it means “free, free time, and to wave goodbye” Also, simple.
-\* Xonotic: Sounds badass, and low hits on google. and very unique… it’s like aquatic but some space-alien type of origin.
-\* Akion: Hehh, it’s C.Brutail’s other nickname, it can’t be anything but cool :D no, seriously, it’s just considered good by others, I strongly dislike it… however…
-\* Akionix: Sounds fine, easy to pronounce, and only 33 hits from google

-and the name is (drumroll) …. :
-
-Archive
-//I suggest 2 criteria: 1) The names must not names of medicine/disease 2) They must have less than 1000 hits on Google; IMO that’s too arbitrary. A project I contribute too tops our rankings, but there are over 100,000 unrelated hits.
-//This is a NEW project, a unique name is critical
-// News releases will rapidly bring any name used to the top of the results, I think.
-// Most of our links come from the reviewers, or message boards
-// That should already be a couple.
-//Just consider this, it’s best to be innovative with names, that’s how they get remembered
-// I maintain that 1000 is too low, it’ll disqualify nearly all names that aren’t extremely unique.
-// Best of the best, I’d say…
-// thats why we need a name like ARHEULRCEH<RYGCRDIEMONTU or so
-// New criteria: It needs to be shorter than 12 letters
-// Memorable trumps unique, I think. E.g. Ubuntu
-// Would anyone remember how to type ARHEULRCEH<RYGCRDIEMONTU?
-// No, and I think most of the non-obvious names should be ruled out. If you can't convey the spelling by saying it, it's bad. (E.g. "Zenjumps" works, "Xenjumpz" does not.) This is called phonetical :).
-// if this pad is crawled by google then we should substract 1 to the amount of hits :>
-//This pad is WIP, and in javascript.
-
-//Bad news, xenotic.com/.org is taken… so what now? - Xenoty :)))
-//We can use these criteria to filter our potential names
-//The reason why we need less than a certain number of hits, is because we won’t be found on a search engine if we don’t, this is why Nexuiz is not an existing noun
