Should we rename Minetest? (poll)

[Sergey]

Seriously, BiBi (build it / break it) is a great name.
It is short, easy to remember, sounds funny, at the same time it gives meaning of playing process (of almost all sandbox games), do not conflict with other games' names.

Also, Bibi is the nickname of Benjamin Netanyahu.

It does not bother me at all.

[MineYoshi]

MiBi (pronounce as meebee)
acronym for Make it / Break it

BiBi (bee-bee) would be nice

build it / break it

Short form is BB instead of MT.

Why not to call this project "BBMine" instead? Looks good to be honest.
"Build - Break - Mine"

Mining IS Breaking

Seriously, that's one of the stupidest ideas I've ever heard.

Oh, what's the smartest then?

Mining IS Breaking

It's not the same to break, and to mine.
You mine for obtaining resources, you break to destroy stuff.

This is the same action. By destroying something you obtain it.

It's not the same. You'd break something because you don't want that something in your world, like Dirt. You'd Mine something because you want to obtain resources from that something, like Mese.

[Sergey]

It's not the same. You'd break something because you don't want that something in your world, like Dirt. You'd Mine something because you want to obtain resources from that something, like Mese.

And again both actions are the same action. By "breaking" dirt you obtain it. No matter whether you will need it later or not — you have it. Have ever looked into your inventory?

Intention is what counts! Anyways, any of you have good names?

[ABJ]

How about Perttu Ahola Craft?

[azekill_DIABLO]

no. Like going back to minetestC55

[ABJ]

How about Nutcracker{/i]?

[azekill_DIABLO]

/fail

[Sergey]

How about Nutcracker{/i]?

[azekill_DIABLO]

shockingly awful name.

[TumeniNodes]

Call it Potatotest..., or ktubertest. That will ensure it never gets dropped by Ubuntu.

[Lone_Wolf]

I dread to think what the name will be if you guys get your way...

[ABJ]

Screw it! How about Notchtest?

[Lone_Wolf]

Screw it! How about Notchtest?

I thought you didn't want Minetest because 'test' sounded simplistic?

[Andrey01]

Do you watch Kikoriki?I sometimes watch

Yes, I watched Смешарики before (name Kikoriki was invented for broadcasting in other countries). Very nice cartoon series for kids and adults as well.

Kikoriki name is formed from two words;Смешные шарики(funny balls).

[ABJ]

Lone_Wolf, did I really say that I didn't want test?

Also, how about MineBuild?

[azekill_DIABLO]

hum, not very original but it would sounds great if it wasn't taken (see http://minebuild.en.uptodown.com/android)

Other options would be to take a name out of a different area, which relates to cubes, digging, mining, building, voxels, survival, etc. Like animal names (Mule), real people (Alexander Selkirk, cool guy btw. not like Robinson), mythology (pick one of the stories that tells from the first human, wandering alone trough the world), dwarfs names (like german "Nickel" and "Kobalt"), metals, minerals, all kinds of things. But not BiBi.

Or focus on Minetest being an engine. E.g. An engine of nodes ---> Aeon

I feel better about the name change now that someone is actually giving good ideas (no offence)
