Let's hypothetically say you were in the business of a small commerical gaming company. Let's say that you didn't want to get too serious too fast, [building a company without having anything to show] but wanted to brainstorm some ideas for names if the possibility did pan out?

What would be some names YOU'D consider? I'd prefer single words, more serious than not, but give me your worst.

I agree with n00bWare. It's serious in a comical way, like the Geek Squad.
ooooh!!! How about "Nintendo" ????

...right. Sorry.

Normally I'd suggest using your own screen-name, but since you'd get sued by 2 different companies... at least... I'll brainstorm on it.

[EDIT] Alright, here...

*These ones sound kind of "big corporation" but whatever, right?

Triton Studios

Hyperion Gaming

Orion Industries

Neutrino Corporation

*Here's some that might be a bit more appropriate for a smaller company.

FrontLine

Spectre

Vector

Apparition

My favorite word ever is "Gunkata".... but, I'd say you should choose something that acknowledges your roots and holds sentiment.

Negative Space (I know it's 2 words, but...)

-or-

Respawn

-or-

DFLT

I asked Hope, and she said you should go with "AntiCogs" (anagram for Gnostica).... or ReJeKS (Rebirth+Jedi+Knight+Sith)

Clever, but I like mine better.

I personally like:

Free
I could see this being a pretty cool looking logo, and a pretty easy to identify with title.

Friendly Fire
This is, no joke, one of my ideas for my webcomic's name. I decided on a different name, but that's not a bad idea for a game company.

Wire
Don't know, sort of bland, but pretty simple.

Vector
Same as above.

Negative Space
That DOES show our roots, and is a pretty cool name [I mean, hypothetically if WE were a real group of people >.> <.<]

DFLT
Same as above. I actually like this one more, though.

ReSpawn
Sort of universal, so not very thoughtful, but still a cool name.

Keep em coming!
