Poll: Name of the successor (Reboot)

[Fzero]

Outside of Smaug or WoW references I couldn't name a famous dragon.

Those aren't nearly as famous as Puff though... the little rascal...

Dragonbox Puff

Sing along everybody...

Pyra is taking the lead now!

Interesting. "DragonBox Pyra" may sound OK but Pyra has to grow on me I think.

And maybe spice it up a little bit:

Πra  (That's a Pi! )

 

[sswam]

some of the Pyragon peoples might like to switch to Pyra or otherwise, so their vote will count.  I did.

 

[comradekingu]

So what is the follow up from pyra? Hygdra?

 

[levi]

Well, if we follow ancient Greek progeny, we have at least three (and any number of misspellings

 

[WizardStan]

I don't know for other languages but in Italian Pyra (paira) sounds terrible

I said it before: pick any word, invent one, mash the keyboard if you want. I guarantee that the resulting chaos can be considered close to something offensive in some language. You cannot escape it, so don't even try.

 

[Tenka]

And maybe spice it up a little bit:

Spice.  Dragonbox Spice.

Edit: Dragonbox Chai.

 

[bzar]

You like the letter Y. I get that. Like cowbell, there can never be enough.

MyryryM

I hereby nominate the ancient finnish word for a car: "hyrysysy"

("y" pronounced like german "ü")

What about Πrˤ(Pi & Râ) for ours shiny Pandy2 ^^

 

[Bosbeetle]

I like dragonbox pyra

My-ry-rym

 Since you mention the cowbell, I can't help thinking on Will Ferrell saying this on a commercial. Can't stop laughing! [it's a joke Grench, don't take it seriously].

Actually, you're catching onto the reference better than you think. It's from an SNL skit with Blue Oyster Cult, Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken.

I've got to have more cowbell.

Regardless.... to clarify...

Myryra was a semi-serious suggestion.

MyryryM was a bit of a joke.

MyryM just struck my brain as something viable.

OK, something else just made me laugh.

There's iPad, iPod, iHateIonTheFrontOfStuff...

DragonBox shop - emphasizing the Box side of it...

"The DragonBox MyBox. Truly personal computing."

I'm not a fan of Pyra or Miriad. Pyra is slightly less annoying than Miriad.

 

[Gausen]

^ I know that!    That's why I've come up with this kind of joke. Used to watch SNL. I'm enjoying the Netflix specials every now and then.

 

[Grench]

Moved my vote from Myridon to Pyra. I still don't like Pyra, but I dislike it less than I dislike Miriad.

 

[FaeMinx]

You prefer 'MyBox' to Pyra... ...

...

...

Seriously?

I think you're just being otherwise now.

Yes. I think it would be absolutely hilarious.

MyBox has incredible opportunities for entertainment. Want to listen to music? Watch a movie? Take over your home servers? Play a game under an emulated environment? It's all right there in MyBox.

At some point the humor becomes more slapstick though. I suppose if you have to blush when telling your coworkers what the name of your cool new device is, it could get old. I'd like to see the commercial for it though.

In the meantime, I MUCH prefer dragon names, numbers or even letter-number codes from obsolete automobiles to either Pyra or Miriad.

My favorites so far are:

#1 DragonBox Tesseract

#2 DragonBox HyperCube

#3 DragonBox Tiamat

#4 DragonBox Myrmidon

#5 DragonBox MyBox

...

#998 DragonBox Pyra

#999 DragonBox Miriad

 

[levi]

Well yes, but all of those names (1-5, ex 4) came up in the older thread, and ED deselected them either because they were already trademarked in the space, or because he didn't like them, and wouldn't make a product called that. Can we stop recycling names that have already been suggested, thanks?

 

[Wrath Of Khan]

Start voting for the ` pyragon` people, its the best name.

 

[ShleeDragon]

openpyragon has 6 pages.. this thread being one of them.. so I'm fine with that

I still think it's a stupid name tho
