Poll: Name of the successor

[vcoleiro1]

Unless something really cool is suggested as a model suffix, just calling it DragonBox is fine. You can add the model suffix for future releases like other consoles have. Xbox -> Xbox 360, Wii -> Wii U , etc.


Adding a suffix now just makes it harder to remember, a simple name now that establishes a product/brand name is best IMO. Once the product/brand name is established , then you can add a suffix for future releases.

 

[Fzero]

hmm, ok perhaps not then.

Maybe Dragonbox 5000, in that instance.

What're the Dingoo A320 and 330 numbers derived from?

It should be known as the Dragonbox-2M



yes 2Months

 

[comradekingu]

Same logic which begs the question, and is surely protected. Nobody cared, except for filing trademarks.

 

[Klumpen]

Hmm, although I came up with Dragonbox for product name about a year ago, I do not really like it anymore after all those better ideas in the thread.

Actually, all the names I liked in the end are not in the list, so I may have to choose between lesser evils, which is difficult, hmm.

And the "Open" or "Dragonbox" before makes some of these names bearable, so it's not unimportant.

 

[Tenka]

Is this really going to be the Dragonbox' Dragonbox?

I'm sad that "Myriad" isn't available after all, it seems.  I would have suggested another version of Myriad be listed instead of a misspelling, Myrias perhaps.  I think the wrongness nerve pinch may have chased away prior voters for the name.

Edit: Or maybe we could do like the program F.lux and just stick a period in the middle.  My.riad even looks lame-catchy, doing that ipod thing.

Dragonbox it is

Sounds like the OP2 will be the DB.

Yup, good that there's nothing in computing environment with an identical abbreviation. Oh, wait -

 

[leathco]

Dragonbox for me.

 

[bzar]

..unless they justified their opinions, that is...

All my opinions are left justified.

Will there be a logo poll next?

 

[_wb_]

It's not so surprising that DragonBox takes such a lead since that is the only name people are already familiar with.

I think DragonBox makes a good name for the product line and for the shop, but we still need a more specific name for the device itself.

I voted for Pyragon (so the full name would be DragonBox Pyragon). For those who didn't read the other thread, Pyragon has the following "etymology":

In Greek mythology, one of Pandora's daughters was called Pyrrha (a name that itself refers to flaming red hair). Because "Pyrrha" is a bit tricky to spell, the idea was to simplify it to "Pyra". The name "Pyragon" is a combination of "Pyra" and "Dragon", so it is a reference to both the ancestry of the device (Pandora) and its maker (EvilDragon). Moreover, it sounds a lot like "paragon", which is a nice word.

^ I agree here - Dragonbox is a great name for the brand/company - but a poor name for the product itself.

The Product (made by a company called dragonbox) needs a different name, or a number, or something.

 

[ShleeDragon]

I don't think we should have a name until you have a working prototype... gives us another 12 months to think of something better

I wouldn't say 12 months.

We're the Pandora community.

For those who don't understand: 12 months means 6 x 2 months.

Please remember: some people here only can think in 2 months steps.

 

[Wrath Of Khan]

Agreed. Dragonbox is not working for me.it needs an extension.i suggested the 'Chimera'

Sounds like the OP2 will be the DB.

"Deutsche Bahn", (the German Railway Company (they like Trains) ) 

Sadly, this isnt a good omen at all, because the "Deutsche Bahn" aren often on time..

But Dragonbox is a nice Name ,  better than Pandora 2..

Because of my history of sneaking curse words into the Global Trade Station, I insist there must be a better way to avoid the already in use filter.  Myr.iad. Myr!ad. My\r\i\ad. (like three claw scratches)

The mispelling was a probably a vote suicide.

 

[Neelix]

I don't know...   I've always felt that putting punctuation into the middle of name like that just makes it look tacky...
