I (and two/three other people) are creating a distributed file system for our Distributed & Network Computing course. It's like a cheesy, academic version of Napster or Limewire.

I'd like a nice, catchy name for our system, because naming it will increase ownership and improve overall team morale. Normally, I'd leave this as a team building exercise, but I want to set up a svn/CVS repository now, so I need at least a codename.

To give you an idea of the project names I've used in the past, I had...

ProtOS (real-time operating system... we were playing Starcraft at the time)
STRAW (a VoIP app using SIP)
VADAR (Vehicle Area Detection and Ranging)
CloseCall (an RPC system)

So, please submit catchy names. Do not submit names for distributed file systems that already exist (Limewire, Gnutella, TFTP, etc.) Bonus points for submitting a logo concept or design. The catchiest name will receive a crude pencil drawing of a character of their choice holding a weapon, animal, or fruit of their choice, or receive 50k vB points (should vB Plaza ever return).
