  We are looking for suggestions of a name for the new module. Are there any suggestions?
  
  I asked the same question at the german forum.

  It would be easier for me to suggest names in the context of a list of planned functions.
  
  An effective name has the following qualities:

  • Easy to read, say and remember.
  • Is iconic in that it accurately reflects what it represents.
  • Unique, so not easily confused with other similar (or, worse, dissimilar) names.

  
  
  Avoid mediashare2, mediaattach2, gallery3. I might think about the brick-and-mortar places where media is seen: stage, theater, loge, hall, arena, proscenium. Or words related to the action: viewer, presenter, display. Zikmedia or Zmedia or MediaZ or MediaZik?

  Some hints for the naming: The module is not only a media collection. It should be also a media base for all modules which are dealing with medias. e.g. the Avatar module can use it for the pictures, News can use it for the small gallery. You can create a downloads area. And so on.
  
  Might be, this hints can stimulate your creativity

  Might be, we can have something without media in the name? e.g. butler

  Let's keep it a little related to Media, LOL
  
  Pantheon and Bucket also sound good.

  Well I thought they were, even if inappropriate. Art school, art museum, famous cave full of paintings, famous Arena, one you like, The room in a high school where all the audio/video equipment is kept, a green glowing ball that shows short movies of other people's evil -- and the King of All Media
  
  OK, so maybe not so much on Loc-Nar.
