I recently completed an internal [asp.net](http://asp.net) application for my company that’s basically a data entry portal for the RSVP customer service department. The only problem is that it doesn’t have a name beyond “RSVP Internal Application”, and that sounds like a suppository (“apply directly to the…” nevermind). May I borrow some fine Doper creativity and help me out with a catchy name for my app. Nothing too fancy, but something that will get me noticed by the suits up front so they will have no choice but to promote me King 'o the World. Something that reminds you of baked cookies. Thank you in advance. Mods – if in wrong forum, please move with my apologies. ---

[QUOTE=dmatsch] I recently completed an internal [asp.net](http://asp.net) application for my company that’s basically a data entry portal for the RSVP customer service department. [/QUOTE] How about: “Notice me you useless fools in suits.asp” “really necessary application.asp” “promotion worthy.asp” more seriously… “python”. It’s an ASP, a kind of snake like a python and it swallows stuff. “monty”. A more oblique reference to the above and not, coincidently, the name of a programming language. “cleopatra” - another asp reference “wormhole”. It gets thing from here to there “hermes”. Messenger to the gods, or perhaps “Mercury”. Of course to be all trendy, you have to mix capitals throughout. ---

[QUOTE=ZipperJJ] Respond, Bitches! [/QUOTE] Sorry - best I can offer is I like IRENE better than any of my earlier suggestions. I especially like that the acronym contains the abbreviation that is “RSVP”. The only thing better would be the PINE kind of acronym, an acronym that contains itself. PINE = Pine Is Not Elm (a text-based mail reader saying that it is different than another text based email reader and containing its own name it its acronym. How geeky is that? ---

While I’m glad you have been trained to respond to my calls of “Respond, Bitches” **Belrix** , I was giving that as a prospective name for the app 🙂 ---
