in reply to (OT) Best Name for Milkbone

So I guess you didn't like my suggestion of PIMP - Perl IM Program??

I received a lot of ++ votes for that suggestion, and I think it's a better name than any of the ones you are considering. I know many people who would like that as the name of their IM client. Just think: people could then say they are "pimping" instead of "IMing". It's catchy. It also goes along with the Gimp.

People will have different opinions on every name, so maybe this would a good poll for our voting booth? . . . Tye :)

    Paranoid as I am, I am wondering whether or not "Instant Messaging" and/or "IM" aren't somehow trademarked. I surely hope not. But if it were, PIMP would be in the danger zone ;-(

    How about "Pyama"? "Perl's Yet Another Message Application".

    In Dutch it means "nightgown", but who cares. It definitely is not descriptive for what it does.

      You sound like a nice person, so I will only smile at this one. :)
