File Sharing Service Name
Background
For the File Sharing Service, we are planning on using
NextCloud. We will need a name for the machine/service to use
Principles
Here are some of the principles we are considering for the name of the service:
- this name should be memorable
- indicative of what it's for
- easy to spell/type
- easily searched in our web space (ie: fairly unique search term)
- not confused with other services
- we're thinking we probably shouldn't tie it to a particular technology (ie: nextcloud) since we might change the underlying software
Some ideas
We've been jotting down ideas for names. Feel free to add new suggestions and/or a plus to names you particularly like, or a minus for ones you really don't like
- cscloud.cs + -
- myspace.cs
- my.cs
- another idea is that my.cs could be a web landing page for a number of service offerings (ie: listing the FSS service, sFTP, git, etc) +
- vault.cs +
- nextcloud.cs
- probably not because of the principle above
- mybox.cs -
- the "box" is a reference to DropBox, which is what this service will be emulating
- csbox.cs
- bitbox.cs
- mycloud.cs +
- filingcabinet.cs
- carriel.cs
- a South American term for a small leather bag, or satchel
- ponyexpress.cs
- satchel.cs
- storage.cs
- watcloud.cs
- stratus.cs
- latin for "layer". types of clouds - want something easy to spell, so probably not Cumulus or Cumulonimbus or Stratocumulus... stratus clouds are low-layer with a uniform base.
- nimbus.cs
- kanan.cs
- cumulus - abbreviation is "cu" as in cu.cs (i.e. see you cs)
- stratocumulus - abbreviation is "sc" so we can have sc.cs - a nice palindrome.
