I'm pondering names for this Goujun archive thingy, and I'm coming up rather dull and boring for the most part. I was going to do a poll and solicit votes, but...really, I haven't got anything yet worth voting on. Soo. Instead, I'm soliciting ideas for names.
Ideally we're going for something not too generic (white_dragons is already taken anyway, ahaha ^_^;) but also maybe not too specific to Goujun because there may be Hakuryuu linking going on in the future. Or not. Totally open to more Goujun-centric naming if there's something good to be thought up. I shy away from things like seikai_ryuuou or long_wang (and I'd want someone to back up my other-than-English there anyway), on account of not wanting to tie up the names if future persons might want them for Goujun RP journals. And Nightwish fans have pretty well covered most variations of the term 'oceansoul' that I've tried though I wonder if a comm can have the same name as a user...? Am I the only one who finds 'Ocean Soul' an apt concept/description for Goujun? Bad idea because it's more likely to say 'Nightwish' than 'Goujun'? Does oceansoul translate neatly/concisely into Japanese? >_< I shouldn't go there, I know, but I wonder.
So, thus far, I'm coming up with stuff like goujun_n_jiipu or saiyuki_dragons (meh),dragon_library (never mind, it's taken), dragon_archive (dreadfully generic), etc.
haku_ryuu? ^_^;; Is it even linguistically proper to split the name like that?
western_ocean or thewesternocean? the_western_sea? seikai_archives ?*headdesk*
Grr. Argh. Suggestions? I have nothing to offer in the way of incentive excepting due props on the info-page and my heartfelt gratitude. ^_^;
Restrictions - comm names can't exceed 15 characters and can only be letters, numbers, and underscores.
