Changes: Forum:Brand name for this wiki

Revision as of 23:11, 2 December 2007

Forums: Index > Watercooler > Brand name for this wiki

Before this site gets huge, we will want genealogy magazines and history journals to review it. "Genealogy" would be misleading in ordinary text. Talking about "the Genealogy Wikia" is a bit of a mouthful; we need something a bit shorter but still distinctive. Wikia Management would probably be quite happy to try to get it registered as a trademark or give it some other protection if possible.

Please comment on the idea (and on each of my suggestions below).

Echoes of Wikipedia, an established word that we are clearly related to. There are people who think that "wiki" is an abbreviation of "Wikipedia". Let's give them an alternative.Robin Patterson 01:31, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm kind of leaning toward WikiGene/WikiGenea, I can't decide what sounds better. But I agree about the Wikipedia-related thing. -AMK152^{(Talk • Contributions} 01:40, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Or WikiGenes? -AMK152^{(Talk • Contributions} 01:41, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

What about Wikialogy ? Honyng

Genealogica

GeniStory

as in Genealogical history, or Stories of Family Genesis.

Familypedia

Bigger market footprint- folks may not care for libraries and genealogical studies, but everyone has a family and folks usually have at least one ancestor they think is worthy of respect. user:Phlox

Fampedia could be an alternative for this one. -AMK152^{(Talk • Contributions} 22:34, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

The more I thought about it today, the more I think we need to get Family in there somehow. But that doesn't exclude genealogy references. On Wookiepedia, they do a tagline- "the Star wars wiki". We can do the same "Fam- whatever: the Genealogy wiki(a). ~ Phlox 08:47, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

That image looks awesome! -AMK152^{(Talk • Contributions} 22:47, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

I like this one as well. Will 23:11, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, No one is using the quartz skins so if no one objects I will load it as a trial logo. ~ Phlox 02:14, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
