On this matter, when I named my project, "Grafoscopio" I thought in something evocative and unique, because of the Spanish words "grafo" (graph) and grafÃa[1][2] (graphy, related with writing like in "ortografÃa" "orthography". After naming it I discover there was a old device related with writing and visualization, also called Grafoscopio[3][4], but I got good search rankings because of the uniqueness of the word[5][6]. Obviously and well done!
I like when developers are talking about names: They use a mac and not a computer, they were nike, lewis and not shoes and pants....
May be we should rename Pharo: programming language. And Voyage: Layer And Athens, Cairo: Canvas
And git: versioning system
Hibernate? JavaFX?, Graddle?, Travis?, Bintray? Do you want more Docker?
So guys can we focus our energy on positive things.

Thanks Stephan. I think most of the community is working on positive thinks (like you). Naming preferences and conventions shouldn't be a place for holy wars. And in fact I would like to learn more about Smalltalk Style, for example, how to use prefixes in classes without loosing the "branding" behind names and tools. Cheers, Offray
