I was speaking with some folks at an unnamed technology company today about product names, and in a follow up email someone referenced a document that said:

Spell out the full name and use the acronym sparingly, so customers are able to clearly identify what it means. Fanciful names and acronyms often create confusion.

I jumped up on my desk and began ranting, if you can imagine. Here's some of the results of my rant. No blood was spilled. Well, a little.

Sugar Umbraco Node JS
Cucumber Raphael Glimpse
Wijmo Mochikit MooTools
Prototype Entity Framework Magic Unicorn Edition  Amplify JS
Kinect Skype NuGet 
Ninject Android Lync

What would you add, Dear Reader? What "fanciful product names" give you life?

Give me your suggestions, and I'll add them if they are LIFE!!!
