Site Name Suggestion

Postby Tom » May 16th, 2009, 9:24 pm

Xavier and I are thinking of developing a new website based on general gaming news, reviews, etc. and other gaming stuff. It's under development now, and we're trying to come up with a name. We were thinking that we'd go with a name like Optical Gamer - that was our original name choice. However, we thought that a choice such as Optic Gamer (minus the al) would be a better choice for a name because it is shorter and easier to remember. Anyway, what do you guys think? I have a poll in this topic, and please vote there as well as reply to this topic to give us your suggestion. We're trying to stick within the lines of either Optical Gamer or Optic Gamer, so we're not really asking if anyone has any suggestions for a different name for the site. Unless you have a completely awesome name for a gaming website, please just tell us which one you like more: Optical Gamer or Optic Gamer.

Thanks a lot, guys! We appreciate your feedback on this new project.

Optical Gamer sounds to dragged out. Optic is short and sweet.

I prefer "Optic Gamer" as it sounds better. The "al" in "optical" makes the name sound awkward.

Optic Gamer

Just make sure you keep in mind about abbreviations as well :)

Right now it would OG, which is short and cool. Good luck and make sure you post the site, I will definitely join!

Thanks! After I developed The Elder Stats and got it completed, I was glad that it was done - but I'm a developer who can never be truly happy unless I have another project to work on. So, seeing that a gaming website driven by user-submitted content could become quite popular, I decided to make that my next web project. I am still planning on doing a lot with The Elder Stats, though (especially this Summer). I'll be sure to give you guys updates and screenshots of the site as development progresses.

Well, it seems most of the people think Optic Gamer is the best idea, so we'll go with that. Thanks for your input guys!

Yes, thank you, guys! We have made our decision: Optic Gamer. I thought that was the better name, but I just wanted to check with some fellow gamers before I made the final decision. I'll keep you posted on the development progress of the Optic Gamer website. It should really start to kick off this Summer, and I'm hoping to have it finished by late August, at the earliest. If anyone has any suggestions for the Optic Gamer website, please post them here. I'm always willing to take suggestions for my website projects.
