AlternativesAlternativesPosted Apr 22, 2003 0:32 UTC (Tue) by roelofs (subscriber, #2599)Parent article: Will the real Firebird please stand up? How about "Flaming Chicken" instead? Or "Roast Turkey"? Or "Mongolian Barbecue"? It's not like the burning-bird motif is difficult to work with... Or one could get really obscure and work Army of Darkness in there somehow (lead character: "Ash" :-) ) Heck, even "MozPhoenix" or "MoPhoenix" would work.

Alternatives Posted Apr 24, 2003 15:54 UTC (Thu) by 0rangutan (guest, #10869) [Link] Why to give such a good browser so ridiculous new name? Well, maybe serious Phoenix/Mozilla users are now gradually encouraged to move to use the Netscape browser instead?But speaking of simple and better alternatives: There are several other ways to write Phoenix in various languages, like Fénix or Phoinix. Why not choose, for example, Fenix, and so people could even pronounce the name just like before? Or - just as another simple possibility - why not pick some other bird name? Firebird/Phoenix browser is supposed to fast, lightweight, smart etc. There are dozens of real and imaginary birds that are supposed to have such characteristics, but don't have so childish sounding names...
