Your NPM package could be named: anti-american

What could this package do, I wonder. Convert text from American English to British?

Fun idea for some programming competition: use this website to generate a name, and then write a package that suits this name.

ringbird - educational ring buffer implementation in JS.

printery - alias function which calls console.log. nothing more.

blameless - npm bin package to squash all git history.

But really....this is useful.

The enormous number of npm packages plus the relative lack of namespacing means it's not easy to have a catchy/concise package name.
