but seriously, please pick something that at least gives a clue about what the project is about. I have no idea (from the name) what mugshot or dogtail are about. I know this is against the open source tradition of cute or obscure names but real engineering isn't about cute and obscure...

I'm with you - I want to find a name that gives you a clue about the purpose of the project. If I wanted something that was just cute or obscure, I would have just named the project Tlon and the test suite Yoshimi and called it a day.

I'd like disagree with you about Mugshot and Dogtail, though. Consider this: Dogtail is a automated GUI tester. Instead of *you* testing the GUI, the computer tests itself. The tail wags the dog, in a manner of speaking.

So, knowing that, which would be easier to remember: Dogtail, or RHAGT?

Similarly, would "RHTS" tell you more or less about the project than would something like "Luna"? Which would be easier to remember: "Project Temper" or "FQA"?

It's definitely not about being obscure or cute. It's about being memorable. Maybe even fun.
