For what it's worth I don't think much of Uncommons (can't put my finger on why) but I reckon Everse is great - best name yet. For many reasons you've noted but mainly because it's succinct and palatable while visually portraying scope and scale... BTW when I suggested CREDledger I misread your post - thought you were sold on CRED and looking for a replacement for Dmesh. I certainly wasn't claiming originality - just marrying your ideas in case you were so close they didn't stand out

Broadened change in conceptual approach from the [prior recent name ideas](https://busy.org/@anonymint/lfiller-re-anonymint-re-quillfiller-re-anonymint-re-quillfiller-re-anonymint-re-quillfiller-re-anonymint-re-quillfiller-re-anonymint-re-quillfiller-re-anonymint-re-phelim-re-anonymint-re-anonymint-name-your-decentralized-social-network-20181004t230500922z) in this discussion thread (not referring to the original name ideas on this blog post).

We decided against **Everse** because it sounds like ā€˜adverseā€™ and it can be (mis-)associated with song or scripture verses.

We like the token name **`E`** for the reasons stated.

New ideas to replace **Everse**:

[On Busy.org](https://busy.org/@anonymint/lfiller-re-anonymint-re-quillfiller-re-anonymint-re-quillfiller-re-anonymint-re-quillfiller-re-anonymint-re-quillfiller-re-anonymint-re-quillfiller-re-anonymint-re-phelim-re-anonymint-re-anonymint-name-your-decentralized-social-network-20181222t110427094z) the above table isnā€™t clipped on the right side. ~~Striked-out~~ TLDs are domains I registered.

**Antifere**, **Antirupt** and **Beeline** are intended to relate conceptually to permissionless, i.e. that no middle man nor authority can interfere, interrupt nor monopolize.

**Antilog** is a math term, but since most people are ignorant of math, I suspect they might associate it with the antithesis of ā€˜analogā€™. IOW, more or less meaningless somewhat like ā€˜googleā€™ (perhaps associated with ā€˜goggleā€™ but originated from [googol](https://skillcrush.com/2013/11/12/horribly-google-called-google/)). What I am thinking here is that is a technological name and it could mean the antithesis of a centralized or individually isolated log or ledger. Perhaps also loosely associated with ā€˜antidoteā€™. The problem with centralized (i.e. not open) databases is for example how Amazonā€™s proprietary algorithms [are subverted](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOj-tRTbFfY), causing customers to have a less reliable experience. By opening the database, customers can experiment with various algorithms so that subversion strategies will be foiled. The free market can best anneal solutions. For example, customers can _independently_ choose which buyers they trust based on various metrics. Our decentralized onboarding verification will also play a significant role in improving over what Amazon can do. If **Ebunk** associates with ā€˜debunkā€™, then itā€™s also targeted to the veracity of open databases.

**Antimeta** literally [means](https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/48576/when-your-10-year-old-boy-says-it-s-meta-what-does-it-mean-in-what-situation#comment98735_48580) not higher-level, semantics stratification. But many websites today have a special area meta where everything censored gets relegated to. So this can be taken to mean anti-censorship. Also it is a technological name given the association to ā€˜antimatterā€™. Even though this doesnā€™t have **`E`** prominently in the name, I think the electronic token name still matches a technological name. Meaning doesnā€™t have to be precise, as long as people donā€™t misassociate with an undesirable meaning. Meta is a nebulous for most people, so they will not likely associate it with anything except ā€˜antimatterā€™.

**Eloop** sounds like ā€˜elopeā€™ which in modern parlance means to escape. Loop also has a technical connotation such as Elon Muskā€™s Hyperloop and the extant altcoin Loopring.

The **Espace** domains are going to be expensive because of the association with formerly top social network Myspace.

**Eterra** means land of E or specifically reshaping the earth as land of E. Look up the definition of ā€˜terraā€™. Iā€™m thinking also an association with ā€˜etceteraā€™ which is a positive. When I thought of this name, I remembered that [Etoro.com](https://www.etoro.com/) had been spamming me on Youtube.

**Exobase** means outside database because exo means outside.

Iā€™m hoping **Galetric** / **Galectron** associates with ā€˜galacticā€™, ā€˜galaxyā€™, electricity and electronic?

---

**EDIT:** I have added **Codata**, **Coeffect**, **Eehive**, **Etonomy**, **Etribe**, **Exodata**, **Hiveffect** and **Netizen**(s).

<center>[![](https://i.imgur.com/5gUYscl.png)](http://autonomy.org)</center>

The technological names that begin with Co- attempt to describe doing thinks as a crowd, hive, or swarm effect, i.e. doing them together or shared access. **Exodata** is data that is and thus accessible from the outside. **Etonomy** is electronic autonomy and economy combined.

**EDIT#2:** I added **Groove**. Please see [Merriam-Websterā€™s definition](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/groove).

<center>![](https://i.imgur.com/2XF80sZ.png)<br/>![](https://i.imgur.com/ftifMtw.png)</center>

**EDIT#3:** I added **Etrinsic**, **Indieverse**, **Klik** and **Munge**. Please see the [definition](https://www.dictionary.com/browse/munge) of munge, [data munging](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_wrangling), and [its differentiation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mung_(computer_term)) from mung. Munge implies the ability to transform the data as needed, not stuck in a walled garden data jail. Also note the alternative definitions for ā€˜clickā€™ which relate to synergy.

Some definitions of ā€˜clickā€™:

* become suddenly clear or understandable.
* quickly become friendly or intimate.
* become successful or popular.

**EDIT#4:** I added **Dbog** and **Droot** (aka dBog and dRoot). Some apt definitions of ā€˜rootā€™:

* the basic cause, source, or origin of something.
* establish deeply and firmly.

So those definitions correspond with decentralization removing the centralized middle men between us and the sourceā€” the [End-to-end principle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-to-end_principle). And the indelible nature of the blockchain.

Perhaps some smart people may associate with ā€˜adroitā€™ and ā€˜(An)droidā€™ also.

**EDIT#5:** I added **Dverge**, **Dverse** and **Flout**.

Removing the ā€˜iā€™ is a play on the dApp decentralization meme, makes the name shorter and makes more TLDs of the domains available for registration.

Diverge can signify that users are enabled to diverge from some centralized control with unlimited degrees-of-freedom. Diverse can signify that diversity is allowed and implicitly that thereā€™s no centralized control counteracting diversity. Dverse is also a play on universe and the global meme. Flout is a rebellious theme, but not necessarily politically rebellious or dissident. Flout can be taken to mean being individualistic and ignoring superfluous anal rules such as social stigmas (e.g. thou shall not wear a g-string panty under your skirt to an office job). I have heard the phrase, ā€œflout your beauty.ā€ Meaning to show off and not be humble about it. So in social context, flout can also be associated with boldness and lack of inhibition.

The negatives are that diverge can be perceived by some as an undesirable quality such as disorganization. Diverge can imply that everything diverges away from organized. Diverse can imply the (centralized) enforced political correctness of multiculturalism. And Flout can be perceived by some as destructive, uncooperative and unwilling to conform to perceived necessary structural organization of society.

**EDIT#6:** I added **Boonanza**, **Breakout**, **Bustout**, **Combed**, **Cur8d**, **Dappsule**, **Delouse**, **Digiverse** (which can be abbreviated Dverse), **Doughble**, **Fr33d**, **Honed**, **Kleen**, **Klout**, **Ndelible**, **Oodles**, **Opened**, **Sthrong**, **Svelte**, **Unblocked** and **Unl0ckd**.

Just saw you made this new post while I was writing this one.


Busy the last few days; no time to think!

> I like Everse the best for a user facing name

When I first saw it I did connect it to "universe", which I imagine most westerners will too. 

> I really do not think Everse is very powerful name. It is sort of like Facebook. Has to grow on you?

Even though it seems fit for purpose, it didn't seem to jump out at me - but has been a grower since, yes.

> I doubt many people know the meaning of Everse is to overthrow or subvert.

I'm one of them!

> Of all the name ideas thus far, the ones that stand out for me the most (i.e. unique, memorable, and brandable) are Uncommons and Oodles.

I agree. 

>  But Oodles is very silly

I don't know about "silly"; certainly playful, and potentially popular with the masses. When I first encountered Google twenty years ago, I didn't know what it referred to and my first association was with googly eyes. It didn't stop me wanting to use it because of some notion of reduced credibility due to it not having a suitably serious corporate name.  

> I canā€™t think of a succinct token name which naturally connects with Oodles.

True. Neither can I.

> Michelle... initially remarked that **e** is a boring name, but when I explained that people want the token name to be quick and succinct as they repeat it often, she seemed to concur that some people may prefer it streamlined. She did relate e to electronic.

My initial reaction was with "e" being the abbreviation for ecstacy pills (so did - unprompted - my wife when I mentioned it), and then by cultural association the 1992 song by [The Shamen](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7b2T8K2D-ps&t=1m14s) (initially banned by the BBC), with it's repeated refrain: "Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode...". And even though the song back then was seen as "naughty, naughty, naughty", you often see the rebellious tropes of a previous generation become commonly acceptable in a later one. So yes, I can well imagine the token naturally been known as "Eez" by the masses. I like it.

> Can your wife appreciate E as a currency?

Yes. She has no problem with it.

> E is more pure and abstract. A new money needs to have a new identity. Needs to be even more unique than the dollar or the Euro. Cred is copycat. E is totally new.

I'm with you there.

> *"I like the single letter ticker, not sure if I have ever seen that"*

Yeah, really cool.

> I do not like Everse anymore now that I thought of people confusing it with Biblical scripture.

I didn't associate Everse with this until you mentioned it. Perhaps it is more likely with Americans who have a much bigger church-going habit than with we mostly secular Brits! A shame if this was the sole reason that put you off using the name.

> I like E but just do not know what to name the project. I would name the project E if the domain was available. Maybe we can come up with a project name that fits?

Perhaps linking the **e** with eez, (relating to "ease") and extending to something like the couple of examples (from various ideas I recently mentioned upthread), EZmesh or  EZLedger?

> We decided against Everse because it sounds like ā€˜adverseā€™ 

Didn't for me. 

> New ideas to replace **Everse**

Dunno. Possibly Exobase, but I still prefer Everse.

> My initial reaction was with "e" being the abbreviation for ecstacy pills

I appreciate the honest feedback. Frankly thatā€™s very depressing. Luckily most of the 6 billion humans on the planet are not as exposed to drug culture as the decadent Western countries.

So do Brits think e-commerce means ecstasy-commerce? Is an e-book a publication about drugs? Sorry being a little facetious here to make a point.

The billions  of humans in Asia have never been exposed to ecstasy. That is a Western decadence thing and pretty much for the generation after mine.

> with it's repeated refrain: "Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode..."

I was very much into UK pop music in my youth and even Morrissey in the 1980s, but apparently the world doesnā€™t hinge on the Beatles legacy any more and the UKā€™s music influence is waning. I never heard that song.

> So yes, I can well imagine the token naturally been known as "Eez" by the masses.

Thus I donā€™t see the masses making that association. I think the 6 billion people in the world are much more likely to associate **ā€˜Eā€™** with electronic things such as e-mail, e-commerce, e-book, e-ink, e-business, e-brokerage, e-reader, emoticon, emoji, ebay, ecigs, etc..

I think perhaps you and your wife are absorbed into a micro-culture, as you explained when you told me you had been a long time fan of the styles of music published by record label Bleep. Letā€™s instead try to think globally.

Itā€™s true that maniacal religion has polarized views in the USA. But also many countries in the world were colonized by Spain and their maniacal Catholicism. Many people in the world feel that maniacal religion was abusive. A lot of people may mis-associate the verse with scripture or song verses instead of universal. Even a non-religious Finnish guy associated it with song verses.

Canā€™t we think of a better name? Why isnā€™t **Eplanet** superior because same intended meaning without the negative associations?

>> We decided against **Everse** because it sounds like ā€˜adverseā€™
>
> Didn't for me.

That didnā€™t occur to me either (but I have been very low energy and not thinking so much lately), but you may be correct that only very vocabulary attuned individuals would make that association. But the association to song and religious verses is enough for me to search for a name without those negative (mis-)associations, if we can.

>> New ideas to replace **Everse**
>
> Dunno. Possibly **Exobase**, but I still prefer **Everse**.

One of my reasons for suggesting so many name ideas, is to illustrate whether the names stand out from each other, or if theyā€™re all about the same uniqueness and impact.

One of the tradeoffs with the **Everse** name is that it isnā€™t very technological. OTOH, **Exobase** is technological but a person with an average IQ wonā€™t associate any meaning to it and thus wonā€™t be attracted to it. Itā€™s a portmanteau of fragments they donā€™t know the meaning of, e.g. ā€˜exoā€™. Perhaps sounds like a medical term to them with ā€˜exoā€™ associated with skeletal.

My favorites from the current list (may change if I add more ideas to the list) are: **Antilog**, **Eplanet**, **Eputer** and **Galectron**.

I like **Antilog** because itā€™s a way of stating a negative that isnā€™t negative because it is a math term. But it can also be associated with ā€œnot a (centralized) logā€. It is technological yet abstract enough to be reinterpreted. Even people with an average IQ know what ā€˜antiā€™ and ā€˜logā€™ mean in the context of the Internet (e.g. blog). The downside is that it isnā€™t a very inviting name. And thatā€™s a big downside.

I like **Eplanet** because itā€™s direct to the point without any severe negative associations. Itā€™s inviting. The downside is that it isnā€™t that creative nor technological. From my USA, middle-age perspective, itā€™s a rehashed concept, e.g. Geocities and [Planet Hollywood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_Hollywood).

<center>![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/60/Planet_Hollywood.png/200px-Planet_Hollywood.png)</center>

I like **Eputer** because itā€™s technological, relates **ā€˜Eā€™**, implies to the the user that this is some sort of special computational engine, and itā€™s succinct with available domains. Also it doesnā€™t make the naive user think about concepts which theyā€™re unfamiliar such as permissionless, censorship resistance, inverse commons, etc.. A new kind of computation, is sort of a catch-all basket for all those for the naive. OTOH, **Eputer** isnā€™t very specific and doesnā€™t speak specifically enough to strengths or purpose. None of these three names do. **Antimeta** speaks to censorship resistance and **Antilog** speaks to decentralization in a very abstract way.

I like **Galectron** because itā€™s technological, very creative, unique, and relates to the galactic or galaxy or star wars, so then in that way also relates to **ā€˜Eā€™**. But unfortunately I think it is more a male geek computer games focused name, than a generally appealing one. It doesnā€™t speak to specifics of purpose, technological advantage, nor conceptual advantage.

Of the four above, Michelle likes **Antilog** and **Eplanet**. I tend to agree, and am not satisfied yet. **Eplanet** is a safe name. Maybe that is the best we can do?

Btw, Michelleā€™s lay person interpretation of **Antilog** is quite illuminating, ā€œit means negative for me but it also means people who will go to that website who will log in twice in that website is not allowed.ā€

Her interpretation of **Eplanet** is, ā€œEplanet is like electronic thing like electronic money that take over the world.ā€ So there we go! Perfect fit.

So what this demonstrates is just how careful we have to be with mis-associations. Our intended conceptualization isnā€™t likely to be the one people will have.

Those recent ideas were an attempt to stimulate a brainstorming process. So far no one else has been able to bring me any ideas that were even close to being compelling.

Naming a project like this very difficult and frustrating. Itā€™s a lot of tradeoffs.

etonomy is great. Surpassing Everse for me. Economy and Autonomy; two powerful and relevant concepts in the crypto space easily recognisable in the one palatable name - bravo (IMHO)

Jordan Peterson comes to Bitcoin.  https://twitter.com/jordanbpeterson/status/1079534451078713344

His daughter gets censored and complains about it. https://twitter.com/MikhailaAleksis/status/1080386630173642753

Can't wait to see who wins the take down of centralized social behemoths.  It's starting to heat up.

Edit:  Jordan Peterson agrees to dive in to the shit project "BitTube"

Jordan Peterson is not enough to be the deciding factor in the winner. He canā€™t onboard millions of people. Itā€™s a lot of noise about not that much. He represents a niche market. The winner will be decided the old fashioned way ā€” years of astute coding and marketing.

Note I tweeted some replies to those links you provided.
