It’s a terrible name. I have forgotten it three times already since they’ve changed it and I was actually trying to pay attention to their project. And just now reading about it, it took me a minute to remember what Element was referring to. It’s not too late, change it again! Pick any element that’s easy to spell off the periodic table and go with that: Vanadium, Thorium, Boron, hell even Helium. Or go with a conductive one since it’s about communication: Copper!

Or try something random: Gregarious, Rune, Radio Moskva, Ricochet, Lore, Franko, Mayham, Rockodial. Whatever, just not Element.

I think I'd like Cloak for a secure messenger. Or Cape. I don't know, I find Element very generic.

Those are really good names, not just for Riot/Element but for other products or features.

Feel free to use them. If you do, I’d love to know about it but not required.
