Win 4M CB$! Help me find a name for my iPhone Game (in Contests)

Hey all!

Just popping in. I've been working on an iPhone (& iPod Touch) game. It's your classic Sokoban game, but with a space theme (and with style!). Here are some mockups:



Okay, so here's the deal. We can't seem to settle on a game name. As you can see, our current name is Soqui. It has no meaning (which is fine). However, it sounds a bit too childish (depending on how you pronounce it), and isn't catchy enough. Other iPhone game titles we'ved liked are Frenzic and Fieldrunners. Frenzic we feel is one of the best game names out there. It's catchy and easy to remember.

That's what we need. A nice, catchy title. Here's a bit of brainstorming to get you started:

Soqui
Soquar
Warp
Droid/Android
Robot
Galaxy
Star

If we (the MacMage team) ends up picking a name you've posted (that we haven't though of already), or if you post one that directly leads us to come up with a final name, you get 4,000,000 CB$. If we feel no one was able to push us any further in naming our game, I'll either not give anything (actually unlikely), or do the same as I did my prior contest - split the reward amongst several of you.

Start posting!

What music style are you putting in the game? Do you have a sample? As cheesy as it sounds, you can actually get a name to fit the game easier by using the music and its style as a guideline. >.>

Here are some I thought of, I hope you like them!

Pex
Apasati
Endless
Lunacy
Lunar
Solare (Inspired by clan)
Lostling (can be name of pusher guy, inspired by clan)
Screwball
Loony
Twist

Throwing a bunch out there, I may post more names later. Otherwise, good luck! :D

Keep them coming guys. Here are some guidelines we decided to try to keep within:

No iPrefix
No CamelCase
Less than 8 letters
No ambiguity towards meaning, spelling or pronunciation
No more than one X or one Y

I picked one out from what all you guys posted above and liked it, but two teammates shot it down. Sorry =P. Throw out more names!

Quasar

Boxitron
Galidon
Robio
Kastenio (Kasten is 'Box' in German, so Babel Fish says)
Cajadon (Caja is 'Box' in Spanish, apparently)

That's all I can come up with right now. :)

Corsa? (it is Italian for travel, and I think that little alien is trying to go somewhere) (derivative)

Korsa

Callsa

Coras

spellcheck is really annoying when you are trying to type names that can't mean anything or in a foreign language.

RoBoX

Oddroid looks a little too much like something that might be attached to Oddbird. :-)

ngsgame
It's short for next-gen sobokan game.
We guys know it, you guys know and everybody else will wonder what the ngs means.

And now some stuff to fool the spellcheck. I sometimes really hate that system...But I guess I'll have to take the bad with the good.
More text was needed, so I'm writing an essay here.
Who knows something about the reproductive capabilities of sharks?

is there a name to the little guy? that could spin more titles for the games name.

I think it's good to tell you so far what kind of things we've liked:

Names we liked:
Gridix (by Negator) - Short and catchy. Though game has a grid in it, it's not the main point of the game, and teammate Ken doesn't like -ix suffix.
Elusic (by MacMage) - Short and rolls of the tongue. May not fit game well, however.
Scuzzle (by Verifex) - Easy to remember, but very cliché name for puzzle games.
Altea (by InmybenZ) - Ken like this for a second. Good alphabetical listing, but not catchy.


Spiffy words to work off of:
Lunar (Rawr)
Cozmic/Cozmos (kevlar)
Stellar (dudemus)
Galaxy (OddBird)
Astro (evilfattyman)

Guidelines to remember:
No iPrefix
No CamelCase
Less than 8 letters
No ambiguity towards meaning, spelling or pronunciation
No more than one X or one Y
NEW! One word

Other notes: SilvaGaidin - Yes, there will be music, but it's being composed! Rawr - Stop playing so much DotA. i don't know - The little guy's code name for now is actually KidﾕE, but we may not express that in the game.

Keep it up!

All of you fail! We've decided on the name Anigma, something we came up on our own after MUCH contemplation. You can view our teaser website here: www.getanigma.com (copy and paste)

Negator wins CB$100k for coming up with Gridix, which was my favorite and a possible name for quite some time.

Thanks for your contributions, nonetheless!

Aw!!!
I had Enigma!!!
My first post!!
So close!!

That certainly does seem pretty close ... perhaps even close enough for the $4M. ;)

Congrats Negator :)

Thanks for the contest, Pixel!

blackshadowshade -That certainly does seem pretty close ... perhaps even close enough for the $4M. ;)

Yet so far.... ;)
