Project rename

[topisani]

There are quite a few reasons why we need to rename the TOP-1.
First of all, i don't know if you noticed, but its just OP-1 with a T in front. It would be nice to have something completely different, both to not infringe on any trademarks, and to change the perception of this project as a direct clone of the OP-1.
Other than that, its a Totally Obnoxious Project name, and we need something better.

There has been quite a bit of discussion in the discord chat, and we have looked at funny, contrived, clever and stupid acronyms like HAROLD - Has Anyone Really Overtaken Loud Doctors?.
I am not sure an acronym like that is really the way to go, even if its better than HAROLD, but lets hear some suggestions.

Personally, i kinda like Arienette, but id prefer not to talk about it, in case she's listening

Lets hear all the ideas down below ↓↓↓↓

Edit: Ideas im currently most fond of:

OTTO
Arienette
Kenopi (KenoPi ?)

Someone on Discord had suggested Q.U.A.R.K (QUad Arrangement & Recording Kernel).

[sastani]

I also suggested R.A.L.P.H. Or Really Awesome Little Piece of Hardware

BOSSE is cute but it reminds me of BOSS, Roland's guitar effects brand

[thedaniel]

I actually also like Arienette, I know it's a Bright Eyes reference, but it sounds sort of small and delicate and Euro and particular, kinda like the OP-1

[topisani]

@thedaniel thats exactly why i like it

on discord we talked about OP-1 Kenobi and from there just Kenobi or Kenopi. And while thats funny, im not sure a star wars reference is the best way to go

[simonvanderveldt]

Kenopi One (or 1?) sounds pretty nice though! :P

[rghvdberg]

Opi one kenopi! Lol

If you google “OP1Kenobi” you can see there is already someone/some people using that name for various OP-1 things.

What about something related to open source? Like “OS-1”? Or “OS-OP1”?

[topisani]

@rosshardy well i think Kenopi is what we would go with in that direction - we dont want the name to contain OP-1

[sastani]

OSHE = Open Source Hardware Emulation?

or

OSHI = Open Source Hardware Interface? (was thinking of yoshi when this came up)

[AlbertSmit]

O,SHIT.

I still like 'Otto'. Not sure what it should stand for. Should it even stand for anything?
Perhaps its 'Otto-matic'. ;-)

[sastani]

I like OTTO too. I think OSHI is cool as well! Why dont we pick top 3 names and just do a vote?

[sastani]

Kenopi, Otto, Oshi?

[AlbertSmit]

Arigato. Sorry, I don't speak Japanese.

[AlbertSmit]

Except if I were to get violent, then I'd jab a niece.

Dad-joke level over 9000.

[VelocityRa]

@D-I-S-K-U-S That's terrible, nice.
@sastani No, this is just a place to post ideas, the final say is obviously @topisani's.

[sastani]

This is a group effort, hence why I say we vote...

Not a fan of OSHI, its too jab-a-niece
OTTO is nice, and i like it just meaning OTTOmatic

I do think we should just keep throwing ideas around for a bit, then ill pick something next week or so

[sastani]

What’s wrong with being jab-a-niece ;)

I had suggested TOP-QUARK, and a few more, in the discord thread long ago. Here's a few more idle thoughts (in case there's been no decision yet):
4URA, InTune, LYRE, TetraPodium, F4vesser, AudioScribe, NICOLO, D-Box, 4D-Tuner, The Sonic Brick.

[topisani]

I think we're going with OTTO! I'll start a huge search/replace everywhere
