This goes - along with the brain-storming rule: <i>there are no bad ideas</i>. So, send - your entries to <a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">llvmdev</a> and I'll add - them here (or add them yourself). We'll use this list to discuss the name - at the meeting.</p> - <p>We have a few objectives and rules we've already decided upon for the - name:</p> - <ul> - <li><b>/LLVM suffix</b>. We need to keep /LLVM at the end of the name for - some time (years) so that we do not lose the brand association we've - developed with LLVM.</li> - <li><b>Avoid VM</b>. We would like to avoid "VM" in the name. Because of the - /LLVM suffix it would be redundant for some period of time. Also, while the - project will retain components that allow you to make a VM, it isn't really - "just" a VM, its much more. In other words, labeling the project VM is - too limiting. The projects scope has outstripped being just a VM.</li> - <li><b>Figurative</b>. We would like to stay away from acronyms unless a - really good one comes along. We don't want to replace LLVM with another - acronym that out-dates itself in a few years. Instead a name that is - metaphorical or figurative or otherwise conjures up the notion of LLVM would - be best.</li> - <li><b>Made Up Names</b>. You can also just make up a name. Some of the best - brands have been - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portmanteau";>portmanteau words</a> - (combining two or more words or phonemes to produce a new word). For - example, a combination spoon/fork leads to spork. Infomercial is another - example. So can you find the perfect portmanteau words that describe this - project? You can find a big list of examples - <a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:List_of_portmanteaux";>here</a></li> - <li><b>Connotations</b>. The name should have a connotation that is - descriptive of the project as a whole. Some connotations that would be - appropriate are: components, fast, toolkit, optimizing, languages, building - blocks, etc. Many other characteristics could apply, these are just a - few.</li> - </ul> - <table class="www"> - <tr><th colspan="4">Proposed New Names For LLVM</th></tr> - <tr><th>Who</th><th>Name</th><th>Description</th></tr> - <tr><td>Jeff Cohen</td><th> - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuvium";>Illuvium</a></th> - <td>Material displaced across a soil profile, from one layer to another - one, by the action of rainwater.
