Help me name my machine!
Dan_Dan_91_07:
Okay, so as the title says, I want some of your ideas on what to call my machine (the name will be displayed on its marquee).
I want a combination of the words "Arcade" and "Jukebox" (EDIT - or perhaps similar words), maybe a hint of something to do with the internet, in it, as well. The latter due to my FE's internet features, though I'm not entirely sure I want this in the name.
So then, any suggestions?
The best I have come up with is "JukeCade" - which has already been given to a Jukebox programme, by someone, so I can't even say I came up with it.

Picture a juke box with a cowboy hat and a six-shooter.
Call him "The Juke"

If you want my honest opinion, I'd pick a different direction all together. I don't like naming conventions that sound as though they were conceived in a conference room filled with semi-creative-marketing types. The English language is vast, colorful and woefully underutilized. I don't see the need to create a portmanteau birthed from an unholy marriage of generic terms and outdated buzzwords.
Instead, start plugging related words into thesaurus.com and see what you can find. Start actively seeking out cool words. Find an obscure video game reference, etc etc.
In case my post isn't persuasive enough, here are some suggestions based on your original theme:
* iJukeCade
* Arcade 2.0
* JukeCade.net
* iCadeTunes
* WiFiCade
