Having a heck of a time naming my arcade cabinet .....
ragnar:
UPDATE (Sept 8, 2011): :dunno
Waking this one up.
I'm redoing my cabinet. I still like the name Insomnia. I should keep it since it is my first. But I might change it. The thing is, I might change the marquee.
I want something more colorful. Right now, I intend to do shades of the attached pic where hte pic is my future intended Mala layout. The attachment is blue. I'll also have red, green, etc. One per emulator.
I was thinking of doing a gradient that matches the colorful nature of the layout. And I was going to use the same image, just cropped to a small portion of it. Thoughts?
ORIG:
Apologize for the following brain dump .....
This is really kind of minor but I can not think up of a clever name for my arcade. Sounds silly, but I need to figure out the artwork within a month. So I need to get started on it.
So far I have "1-UP Arcade" and "Mother Brain Arcade" as ideas. Retroarcade was quickly dismissed as being to common of a name.
Any thoughts of a clever name? Or ideas for naming it? I have two children named Lillian and Charles. Maybe scramble their names up into new words? I am also "1980ing" the cab. I am getting 80s music and pop culture images for the screensaver.
If I did a 1-up theme for the artwork, I could find extra life items from carious games like the green mushroom in the mario brothers series.
I am at a total loss. Right now "1-UP Arcade" is the front runner. Thoughts, ideas? Ideas for inspiration?
Words that rhyme with arcade:

EDIT: rhyming fun:
"The handmade arcade to be played"
EDIT: Or just something off the wall:
Euphoria portico
EDIT: game vault or ...
assault vault or ...
The Pummel Bubble
The Asault Vault
EDIT:
Luminal Arsenal (kinda clever if you know what the words mean)
Festival Arsenal
Cerebral Arsenal
UPDATE: The front runner is "Shrill Alliance Arcade" made by The Final Remarks Ranch. Shrill alliance is an anagram for my kids names and Final remarks ranch is an anagram for my full name.
EDIT: Updated the subject. This is a cabinet I am trying to name, not an actual arcade.
Smeghead:
Ragnar Fragbar lol
Mines called "The games that time forgot"
Before that i was going to use the word Flashback somehow

Flashback Attack!
EDIT: A sentimental idea. I love the internet because it can find a gem like Shrill Alliance Arcade. Shrill Alliance is an anagram for "Lillian Charles", the name of my two kids. And at ages 3 and 5, they do shrill together alot. They are a sort of shrilled alliance!

My machines are 'manufactured' by Ion Phantoms, an internet-provided anagram of my name.

Not bad. I tried my first and last name out on an internet anagram generator and nothing really works. With my middle name included I get this:
Final Remarks Ranch. You must be blessed though. Ion Phantoms is awesome.
Others that just don't seem to work:
Lank Firearms Ranch (lank - long and narrow. See also: lean)
Marlin Freaks Ranch
Frank Realism Ranch
Front Runner right now: Shrill Alliance Arcade made by The Final Remarks Ranch
