Name for new engine

Alright, so I think it is time to come up with an official name for my new engine. Up until now, the working name has been Platyform, a combination of the prefix "Poly" (meaning "much") with the word form (as in much forms), along with a spin-off of it's primary usage - for platformer games.

My conditions for product names are always as follows:
- Must be relatively unique when entered into Google (only popular products like Eclipse can pull off non-unique names)
- Must have some kind of relevance to the product (ie vbGORE... obvious one)
- Must be a reasonable length (ie why I didn't use "Visual Basic Graphical Online RPG Engine Funbox!")
- Preferably one word, but no more than two words
- Appropriate
- Not influenced by internet fads

If you want to suggest a new name, please do so. You can also say if you think "Platyform" is fine or not without suggesting anything new.

I suck at this sort of thing, it's always the part of a project that I spend a stupid amount of time on

If you can't think of one you could always just call it the Plagued Dead Engine

It's not imaginative, but it seems to be the hip thing these days.

I wanted to keep the engine completely separate from the game itself, like how vbGORE was never associated with a single game. The Ninja Story engine is an exception just since it was an engine built specifically for one game - Ninja Story.

Lol like your OHRPGCE project aka Official Hamster Republic Role Playing Game Construction Engine. That was something you made originally correct? I think I remember reading that somewhere.

I really suck at names Platyform I think sounds a little weird. I think getting rid of the t would be best and make it Palyform.
