What would you have named the MeeGo Project?
 
Exactly what the title implies.

If you were in charge of naming the new open source project/os ... what would you have preferred?

+MeeGo to me sounds like rotten fish candy.
+Moblin was so cool. It was Mob, for mobile. And lin, for linux. And it actually sounds nice. We could've have weird and cool names coming like Mobster, Goblin etc etc.
+Maemo is somewhat cool, we could even use the prefix on device names (like Maephone, Maepad, Maebook etc).
+Limo (now taken) is also not too bad. Li, for linux. mo, for mobile. And there's things to relate to it like Limosane, Crazy Limo etc etc.
+Android (not available), but the mascot, the names with references like "Droid" are pretty cool.

(if your choice is not in the poll, please post your idea)

Something borrowed from science fiction of course. Maybe Borg OS that has already swallowed and assimiliated Moblin and Maemo. Resistance is futile.

And the browser should be called Mobzilla. :p
