On resetting the naming cycle and rules.. while we could maintain a
"is a/ also a" rule, would it help trademark approval if we went to a
2 or 3 word name cycle. Many of the one word names have problems
because they will be used somewhere else. Adding a "adverb verb" or
"adjective noun" or a "adverb adjective noun" would make it easier to
delineate and move names through.
