Re: [eclipse.org-planning-council] Mars+1 Naming Issues

Maybe folks would like the taste of New Eclipse?

(couldn't resist an 80s reference)

Hey esteemed planning council members,

We've hit an interesting roadblock with Mars+1 naming:

"We have now completed trademarks reviews for Neptune, Nova, and Neo and our external counsel has strongly advised against using any of those three names. Newton remains a registered trademark of Apple. None of the remaining names on that list are all that appealing, nor did they get much support. Do we need to restart the process?"

Names eliminated:
Neo: 8% 
Neptune: 38% 
Newton: 11% 
Nova: 25%

Names left:
Naboo: 8% 
Narvi: 3% 
Nash: 2% 
Nano: 2% 
Nibiru: 2% 
Naiad: 1% 

This is a first for the planning council as we usually had one of our backups work.

Without making things more complicated, my suggestion is that we do a lazy consensus poll potentially work down the list based on votes or just pick a couple of favorite names from what's left. If we go simply by votes, Naboo and Narvi are next on the list.

What do you think?
