Recently I found out that a fairly large (not announced yet) project by some key players in Steem has a very similar project name to Engine. I've talked to the devs and I've agreed to rebrand Engine to fix the naming conflict.

I've agreed to rebrand Engine to fix the naming conflict.
I'm now taking this opportunity to create some engagement and allow you to participate even more in Engine (soon to be renamed)'s future.
I'll be giving away a total of 80 STEEM to anyone who can come up with a good name for the currently named project Engine.
Some quick rules about the naming:
- Must not include D, Steem, or coin in the name.
- Must not have the same (or similar) name to a preexisting website, product, project, etc. (e.g. nothing like DTube or Steemit)
- You don't have to integrate the name directly into the project (like Tron doesn't represent a smart contract social media network), but maybe have some relationship (e.g. Ethereum, Engine).
Some names that are great -- what I might accept if they didn't already exist:
- Ethereum
- Engine
- Enigma
- Amber
- Stellar
- Tezos
- Augur
- etc. (this are some names that already exist, I just remembered them off the top of my head).
And some background information:
Engine adds multiple features such as Non-Fungible Tokens to Steem by creating a semi-sidechain/semi-shard that handles transactions on top of, but also independently of the Steem blockchain. Here are some more links to details about Engine: https://steemit.com/steem/@shredz7/how-engine-works https://steemit.com/steem/@shredz7/announcing-engine-bring-agility-to-steem-development
How to Participate
You can submit as many names as you want -- in fact you are encouraged to submit a large amount. Having more will just increase your chances of winning so feel free to give me 100 different names (though I think that's enough :)).
To submit your names, just write them out in a reply to this post before payout and you will be eligible for winning the 60 STEEM name prize!
Write a comment with a list of names you can think of and if one of your ideas is chosen you will receive 60 STEEM as the prize.
There's also a sub-prize for resteeming! If you resteem this post and write a reply saying that you did, you will be entered into a random pick for one resteemer to earn 20 STEEM!
How about the name Bryeum , Embreum, Pyreum , Einstellar, Feuratreum, Estratr, Eincizer, Caeleo, Worbr, Seraphael
I think should go for non-existing words type Names

Hmm... seem to be modeled after Ethereum and Stellar. I’m trying not to echo any other existing technologies or projects but I think these could be good. I do agree that non-existent words (modeled after real words) work well, such as Ethereum, and maybe even Steem.

Oh okay, well, the reason a lot of mine have the -eum suffix is because the dApp performs layer 2 Ethereum-like functions for Steem, so you might not like most of my ideas. But you can take Caboose to the bank! That's a definite winner...

I definitely like caboose... but still not sure. I don't like the -eum suffix; that's what a lot of people have been doing, because it's reminiscent of Ethereum and in the rules it says:

I’ve always thought Pneumatic made sense for something Steem driven and sounds kind of cool. It could be intentionally misspelled or spelled phonetically for ease or style.

That’s great! I wasn’t aware of the origin. I just saw a post recently on “other” social media about the craziness of etymology. It mentioned how Nimrod (a biblical hunter) became synonymous with idiot... because Bugs Bunny sarcastically called Elmer Fudd a Nimrod in a cartoon. I thought that was fascinating too!

A couple of my thoughts: S-chain (or any letter), speedchain, prime, xteem, liquid, and infochain.
I obviously like the concept of chain in the name but sure if consistent with your visualization.

Hmm... I'm interested in the 'prime', 'xteem', and 'liquid', those are quite creative and interesting, but not really in the chain ones as I think that the 'chain' is kinda overused in the space, and doesn't represent Engine as well since it primarily runs on top of another blockchain Steem.
Nice job! This could be the one; we'll see! Also: make sure to edit your comment to add that you resteemed this post so that you can be eligible for the resteem reward.

I used the word moist this Christmas in the UK. they were dead silent afterwards. Its a word that is very sexual, and worse than shit. so I rolled over with laughter. If you want I accessible to a wide consumer base the word should not be to sci-fi, like Steem.

Yeah I wasn't really thinking of moisture as one I would choose... But I do agree that a wide userbase shouldn't have a too sci-fi name. In my opinion, some of the best names for crypto projects already exist and are fairly simple, e.g. Aurora, Engine, Steem, etc.

Hey @Shredz7 enjoyed reading up on your ideas, I'm digesting your project which is beyond my technical knowledge but I feel like you are creating a new layer. That really resonates with me. You describe building on top of the Steem Blockchain: "@Layer" as handle has gone but my first idea was "Strata" - similar to another layer: So that's it just one idea for you: STRATA:

That sounds really good! It also inspired me -- what do you think about strato (for stratosphere)? (you would still be credited for that name though)
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

My first idea was stratosphere - (didn't mention it!) - and I looked up the spelling and pulled up a jpeg of all the atmosphere layers! - and then I was thinking …..."layers" and surprised a bit it wasn't spelt stratasphere! (seems pronounced that way sometimes) SO yes - you're onto a good one - I like both STRATA and STRATO. Do you want me to mock it up for you to see on the blue background for comparison purposes!

No, it's fine, no mockup required :) (that is a great mockup though). Strato could really work. And looking it up -- I believe the image was wrong and it is actually spelled stratosphere... You're probably going to be in top 5 :D

Strato might work on multiple levels if you consider strat is short for strategy.
Maybe even Stratos. Could be interpreted as both an outer layer and also as an operating system strategy.

I'm not trying to dog anyone's name idea, but I just thought I would help out by letting you know that there is a coin called Stratis, its rank 48 on coinmarketcap.
If you still want something in those lines, probably just go with the longer name like Stratosphere, or Stratosteem or something. Because Strato or Stratos is really close to Stratis, and it might confuse.
