Cinemagic is already copyright MomCorp, along with "love". The only words that have not yet been copyrighted or trademarked are "Popplers" and "Tasticles".

poppler - that'll be our PDF rendering library

Taken - see http://poppler.freedesktop.org.
Not really "copyrighted" (well, we borrowed it :-), but still in use.

Heh I've been open to ideas for about 9 months*. Not that I would've gone with "Cinemagic". ;)
Anyways dragons burninate peasants, generally kick ass and of course (and seriously) Konqui is our long-time mascot.

Well, "player" is descriptive and dragons are powerful and something worth looking at, so I guess it's a decent name for a video player.

I agree. Dragon Player's not so bad though. At least it isn't Drakon or something equally contrived!
Also I think Konqui (sp?) makes KDE seem unprofessional - Kubuntu for example removed his image from the shutdown dialog. Maybe he should grow up into a more cool evil dragon!

Actually I like the name "Dragon Player". It's original, could be turned into a brand. And dragons refers to Konqi.
If someone said their music player could be called "Amarok", would you like that name? We all like Amarok now. Part of liking it comes from being a brand you can identify.

Amarok

I've always liked Amarok as a name, it's unique yet the term 'rok' gives away its purpose.

So how about "Jibbleviewfilm"?

For a video player? No, sorry - I don't see it.
Maybe if it were optimised for porn ... ?

'Dragon Player' is awful, it sounds like a Taiwanese board game or a Chinese DVD player for children covered in dragon decals.
'Ciniverse' FTW do I have any takers for 'Ciniverse'.

I must say though even if the atrocity of a name 'Dragon Player' is used but is still Codeine at heart (basically a bugfree version). Then it'll still be perfect for the task - Amarok is great but I see they are seriously on the precipice of bloat canyon and there's no way back apart from a sane fork.

Well Dragon Player is developed by the same people as Amarok, so who knows!

And yet it is, more or less, entirely unlike Amarok in every way. And both apps are great :)

Hey, what about choosing "Drak" as name for that player? I don't like the name "Dragon Player" very much, it sounds awful. "Drak" is the Czech word for Dragon. It has even got a K in it, and it fits perfectly into the naming of other KDE apps (Especially Amarok :-D).

That's a good name!
Dragon Player is not awful, it just has something... maybe player is too generic, and Dragon Player sounds, like someone else said a bit like a tablecard game or something.
I am not a fan of K-names, but please consider Drak.

I really dislike some of the new K-less names, such as Dolphin, Plasma and now Dragon Player and I think these names could lead to a loss of identity for KDE. Remember the time when it used to be all about the K?

Still I can't imagine a Kolphin or a Klasma. Maybe they ran out of K names like Ubunzu will soon run out of monkey names ;D
