Right, I realize that's the immediate issue.

That was my suggestion, yes. I just don't personally believe the "facets" 
we're talking about have enough mindshare to stand on their own if they're 
named in a technology-oriented way. In that sense, I would agree with Phil 
that a cutesy name is probably better than a bunch projects named after 
obscure acronyms. But those kind of names are difficult to decide on, and 
are time-consuming to "vet" against existing trademarks.

My suggestion was to try and leverage the Liberty name to attract attention 
to whatever the various projects happen to be.
