New GUI name: calypso, umami, ... ?

[Sebastien Cevey]

Hej people,

So we have various comments, mostly positive, to "Calypso" and an
alternative proposition by anders, "umami".

Can we have everyone express their opinion on the choice, if they care?
Just say which one you prefer, which one you wouldn't mind, which one
you'd rather die than hear.


Personally, I like both. Calypso is more colourful and warm, with
multiple references we could play on (for better or worse), while
umami is more unique and geeky, but also more abstract and not
necessarily known by all (I didn't know it). Both seem to be the name
of shitty bands anyway.

How about you?

I'd go with "Calypso". Reminds me of Greek mythology.
While I don't have any associations with "umami".

I'm kinda developing a client myself, goes very slow since I'm new to
programing and have little spare time. I named it celibidache after a known
romanian orchestra director:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celibidache

but I guess it might not be your
style.

I prefer calypso because of the reasons above and the things that
come to mind when seeing it. I've heard of umami, and I don't think of much
else when I come across it besides "taste" (i.e. good taste), but that's
going to be a given with the awesome client. Otherwise it wouldn't be
awesome.

If we go with another name, including umami, I would like to see a recursive
acronym. Not only because Eclipser would love it, everyone would.

Umami Means an Acronym of Much Interest

If it really has to be recursive, it of course should be mutually
recursive like HURD. That would also better describe how XMMS2
constantly redesigns itself and when it once gets to a stable state
there is already a big change on radar, just like our beloved HURD. ;)

No but more seriously, I think Calypso sounds actually pretty good.
