I like to have names for the projects I’m working on, and as yet I haven’t found the final name for my project (I know the one I want, but I’m not sure I can get it, so will keep searching).

In the meantime, I need something to codename the various stages of the project (Milestone 1, 2, 3, ad nauseum are just so dull). I guess using My Little Ponies is out; at my first company we named all the computers after Pokemon; my current set computers are named after dogs from comic strips (I’m writing this on Spike, Snoopy’s cousin from Needles), so I don’t really want to reuse those. I was thinking about just using chemical elements, but that seems a little uninspired.

So, I turn to the wondrous 43 Things community in search of better suggestions. The only requirements are that the list of names is relatively long, and that they names are non-offensive (I know, I know).

In return, I shall somehow involve/incorporate you in the secret project (that goes for all suggestors, not just the person whose suggestion I select).
