Trash Talk - -cough- rude -cough- acronym making time

I need a name for a graphical zone list downloader I wrote. It should end in g for graphical/gui or contain the word graphical (so it doesn't get confused with my command line zone list downloader).

If no one thinks of anything I'll be forced to use the rather bland 'zldg' for 'zone list downloader graphical'.

As you can see I had to make special provisions with the window's width to fit 'SSRD-A Fun Zone!!!111!one!1!'.

Even though this is trash talk, please don't argue over the zones I put in the right hand list. I couldn't leave it empty so I just put some SSC zones in it.

Instead of "Zone List Downloader Graphical," name it, "Zone List Downloader Graphicale."

Lesser alternatives:

ZLOG: "Zone List Organizer, Graphical!"
GOALZ: "Graphical Organizer And Lister of Zones"
GOOZ: "Graphical Organizer Of Zones"
G-STRING: "Graphical Server Title Receiver Iff Network Good"

So I can't put the g in the front because it's not gnu?

Let's forget acronyms and just call it "Douche" or "DoucheG".

So maybe the 'g' restriction was too tough. I didn't know about that gnu/g thing before.

I thought this one was quite good:

Yeah, but that one doesn't make any sense.

I should actually have made mine Graphical Unix Zone List or something... then it'd be GUZL

Technically, "of" can't be used as an acronym letter, and you can't just hide the "zone" part.

Wrong on the former. And who gives a shit? The fact that it's *not* all capitals should be indication enough.

I haven't seen anything I think is 'the one', and I'm going to release within a day. I don't want all this creative thought to go to waste so if there's a name you really want to see now is the time to post.

Anyone got any space terms for gathering or assembling?

Time to name it something arbirtrary like Beverly and be happy about it.

Nebula - a Standalone GUI SubSpace Zone List Updater or whatever the official name for it is.
Or maybe gNebula (silent g).

Okay, that's my official pick, gNebula.
