I think we may find a good name on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabindranath_Tagore

There is a famous peom 'Saying Goodbye to Cambridge Again' written by
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xu_Zhimo at 1922. Quote from wikipedia:

"To commemorate Xu Zhimo, in July, 2008, a white marble stone has been
installed at the back of King's College, University of Cambridge, on
which is inscribed a verse from Xu's best-known poem, 'Saying Goodbye
to Cambridge Again'."

Since Cambridge is part of a poem, then we can always find a good poem
with a sound title. I'd suggest "Crescent Moon" (of Tagore) because of
the close relationship: Xu Zhimo also started a group called that
name. Also we used "Solar" as artwork theme in Fedora 10.

But this word seems to have been used by another software company, and
a perl module(?), etc. I am not sure about the google result. Also it
have close relationship with Mid-East, isn't it. India people may have
more to say about Tagore.
