    Question WebTop OS name?

    Can anybody suggest me a list of cool WebTop OS names? Please don't give me names that are already in use by other companies / individuals such as eyeOS, gOS, etc.

    Thank you all

    What are the design goals, guiding principles or reasons behind what you're working on? Without knowing the character of the project, the names are going to be fairly generic. Of course, if you're working on yet another web desktop, you could call it "yawd".

    "clOS" might be confused with the Common LISP Object System, at least by search engines.

    If you want to go with a spider theme, consider "ArachnOS" and "AraneOS". If you're working on a web desktop rather than a web operating system, you could use "cloWD" or "LeWD" (think French).

    There are a number of great names that may not be particularly relevant. "NachOS" and "TacOS" for the snackers. "KazoOS" and "BanjOS" for the musical. Along the same line is "BongOS", but that's too easily misconstrued. Finally, "HobOS" and "WinOS" are always relevant, though the latter might be taken to refer to a certain product from Redmond (and not just because alcohol is involved).
    Be sure to read all pages linked in this post; they have further information that should prove useful. When asking for help, make sure you follow Eric Raymond's and Jon Skeet's guidelines for prompt, accurate responses. Please answer any questions I ask; they're not rhetorical (probably). Any posted code is intended as illustrative example, rather than a solution to your problem to be copied without alteration. Study it to learn how to write your own solution.
    Misson, not Mission.

    It's just a general web desktop. I just wanted to make one for my personal growth and also for flexibility because if I'm the one who coded it from top to bottom, I would know how to extend it easily if I need feature without needing to study API documentations, etc.
    Oh and cloWD nails the spot!
