I think unfortunately the cons outweigh the pros.<br><br>Pros:<br><ul><li>non-stuffy</li><li>unique (rare/peculiar word: gives it more of a story)</li><li>rolls off the tongue easily</li></ul>Cons:<br><ul><li>dealing with silly associations</li><li>yet another half-childish sounding Web2.0 name?</li></ul><br>Personally, I would love to use a "<span>GrooveWiki</span>" made up of a bunch of cool "<span>grooves</span>".<br><br>Or go for something meaningful and nice-sounding in Indo-European or <a class="externalLink" href="http://veminra.tiddlyspace.com/#Lojban" title="External link to http://veminra.tiddlyspace.com/#Lojban" target="_blank">Lojban</a>...<br><br>I'd ultimately rather present this software saying "Folks, behold this GrooveWiki" than "Folks, behold this TiddlyWiki... yes... indeed... no... it's sticklebacks." First impressions, you know.<br><br><br>
