simon Key Master	If you could rename Programmer’s Notepad (to something shorter and more catchy), what would you call it? All suggestions welcome! p.s. but be nice!

Silverlight notepad? lame… Vista? too lame… SourceForge? notepadForge? nForge? nSource? hmmm… naaaaaaw… GTnote? lame.. ++notepad? :> notepad# or maybe something new, more script-like… $notepad.. Npad? pPad? xPad? xNotepad? xxxNotepad? or maybe something that don’t have notepad in the name? like… SteelFusion? or maybe… SteelCube? or… SilverCube? or VgN? (Very Good Notepad)or… Nfp (notepad for programmers) or… snFp (Steel Notepad For Programmers) or… nSilk… ok… i’m done for now… let’s hear what others has to say…

jumpfroggy Member	Unipad Nemo I like xPad (as generic and trendy as it is) Maybe a play on simon / simon-says Notepad GT (hah, car humor) FooEdit Edut Redux Could go with animals (ie. Thundebird, Firefox, Panda AV, ClamAV) Word Pad Text Edit Editor Programmer Dev Developer Design Type Write “Programmer’s Notepad” always sounded a little late-90′s to me, plus it’s confusing between “Programmer’s Notepad” and “Programmers Notepad”. Last, it could be shorter. Don’t get me wrong, I like it a whole lot more than Notepad++ or similar names; it has a lot of character. -1 for iAnything, anything++, or unpronounceable acronyms.

miechu Member	hmmm… i was thinking lately… and my proposition is… blah second one is: doh so… what do you think?

simon Key Master	Some nice suggestions so far, I particularly like: Nemo xPad Redux so far. I agree with jumpfroggy in that the current name is a bit old hat and causes people grammatical “issues”! I also would like a shorter and perhaps less generic name. Finally, definitely no use of symbols or iAnything.

GraemeF Member	PeanutPad! If you need any other dilemmas resolving just give me a shout

kevin Member	I think Programmer’s Notepad is perfect. It states its function right in the title. But if you’re to shorten it, why not just shorten it to pNotepad? You already have the domain

tiojoca Member	I actually kind of like the PeanutPad pun, though I like pNotepad better. You could say the pronunciation is PeanutPad and/or have a peanut on the application logo/icon. Also keen on the Redux and UniPad names. Other suggestions: Flex Paddie Padall Mopad

tiojoca Member	Just remembered Flex is obviously taken: http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/
