"Tell me, Tom, have you given it a name yet?"

Tom smiled ruefully. "No. I have a harder job naming some of these things than I do figuring them out. Have you any ideas?"

"How about calling it the Spacelane Brain?" Arvid Hanson suggested.

I hate to be that guy but you can ask an LLM. I cut 'n pasted your query into Copilot and got a long personalized response addressed to me by name, but it came up with: Devique, APiha, Infirtion, Chisel, Scaffold, Launchpad, CodeSprint, CycleUp, SnapAPI, Syntax, Rapidly, Zeed.

I was in a team that made a game over a weekend at a hackathon, one member got an LLM to make up a name, we won a prize, maybe the name was 5% of that.

You might want to be smarter than Microsoft and run a trademark search before you use it!

Thank you for such a lovely answer. I tried all LLMs - free and paid, used name generator, namelix.com but nothing seems to attract me or is not available.

I liked Launchpad from your suggestions but it's not available.

How about Launchpad9?

Launchpad9.com is not available :-(. .I can take Launchpad8.com but it's now a distant 3rd option and so it's not appealing.
