We are trying to find a more suitable name for Cerberus X.
The main reasons for the rebranding are:
1. Cerberus X is hard to pronounce (ssssserbrseggs) and to spell correctly.
2. Cerberus has, as the multi-headed dog that guards the gates of the Underworld to prevent the dead from leaving, kind of an evil touch to it.
So let's create a name that fits the tool, sounds nice, is easy to write and pronounce and makes us think positive thoughts while hearing and using it.
In the other thread we gathered some suggestions (191), so I put them in a list for you to choose 5-10 of them. It would be nice, if you arrange your most preferred ones on top. You can also comment why it is a suitable name or add variations or new suggestions.
If you know some objections to certain names, that could prevent us from using it for Cerberus X, tell us about them.
The goal is to have only a few (5-20) suggestions left at the end of next week (2019-09-22), that are really worth considering as a replacement for "Cerberus X".
