Let's give the Fox a name

Sorry, delete the "2" on the end. The correct URL is:

http://utils.eurion.net/hosted/NameTheFox.tar.gz

I know that page, I even had a printed version of it on my cupboard's door, but I've never really thought of it as the animal. And beside, I believe that the mascot and the program should have a different name; as someone said, for example, Linux's penguin is not called Linux, but Tux. This way it's easier to differentiate if you are calling of the system (in this case program) and the mascot.

But anyway, I don't think the most important on the development of this site (that, by the way, is going slow because I broke an arm and can't currently work on it; don't think I forgot it) is to actually chose a name for the Fox, which is a bit more difficult, but of the marketing value this can have.

I've seen announcing this that there's quite enthusiasm on this. Now imagine when the site is up-and-running; I think having people asking everybody to vote for their idea can be a great way to let even more people know about Firefox.

have you benn watching too much highlander?

Pimpis, Fire Pimpis!!!!! :D

Rusty?

i all ready thought of nameing him Rusty

I like Fozzer from the list. 

Norm McMahon

I was thinking of Moxy or Mozy

just my 2 cents. :D

 

What's the L have to do with anything?

MoziLLa

Usually when people abbreviate "Mozilla" they will use the "Moz" part, such as "Mozdev" for "Mozilla Developers". Maybe put L on as half-priority?

I said that all of them are more common than the rest of the letters, but I didn't say that they all have the same rarity... ;)

It would be a good idea to make separate rarity ratings for all the letters.

For example: set J, H, Q, and W to 0 because they never show up, A, E, I, O, U to 1024 each, because they are vowels (Max value is 2048, BTW) And F, X, L, M, Z can have ratings of 1250 and higher.

A, E, I, O, U, Y, EE, EA, OU - Vowels, listed in a another array of letters (Yes, Y isn't really a vowel)
F, Z, M - Rarity 3
L, X - Rarity 2
Rest of the letters - Rarity 1
J, H, Q and W - Rarity 0

 I hope that explains it. :)

...of absolute ratings, rather than comparitive ones.

It's easier like that. :P

Anyway, I started making the generator in PHP. :) 

I really like that name, it sounds great.

 Good question. How about Flame? Get it...flame...fire...fox. Okay never mind.

I suggest we name it FOXIE :)

I like Foxie. How about Mozy Fox(y), or Mozly Fox...? or.... maybe Mozly?

I like FOXIE. When I manually create a restore point on my pc before I install the dreaded monthly patches, I usually call it "Foxy Foxie Best Config".

Moxy is interesting...
