Okay, a group of whales is called a pod, right? So perhaps a grouping of some kind of mythical sea creature could also be referred to as a pod?
A Pod of Krakens, a Pod of Mermaids, a Pod of Sea Serpents, a Pod of Seasick Cecils... or, perhaps, not.

I thought I had it with Adventure Inn (Adventuring at the Adventure inn  ) - but they are already taken - bah! On principle, I stand in opposition to DragonPod. Too obvious/common? |

Steve, should we all be using the same exact subject header so that you can filter on them and weed out any spam?

Thieve's World, Discworld, PodWorld..
I didn't think of Dragonpod, because I thought everything with dragon was taken nine times over.

That's a good point - this is harder than I thought it would be - about half of what I think is cool is gone already. Thankfully .org is less consumed than .com - but still a good bunch of my ideas are already claimed...

Too obvious/common? Yes. And easy to mock. |

I don't think the sheer cleverness of EscapePod can be replicated. Sci-fi relation, literary type, medium, double entendre all rolled into 9 letters. I've been trying to use other common elements of S&S, and make them clever - like an Inn (hence the previously mentioned Adventure Inn). Mr. Eley - In regards to the first "rule" (E-mail your name ideas to contest@escapepod.org. Posting them in this forum or anywhere else will not be valid.) Once they are emailed, is it alright to reveal our suggestions in the forum? We might get some neat synergy if we feed off each other's ideas... |

Anyone else notice that at the bottom of the whois link it states that the database only contains .com, .net, and .edu domains?

After long consideration (and dinner with Sarah Prineas), I have come to the not-so-sterling conclusion that my contest entry shall be:
PodQuest
which sounds vaguely like podcast.

OK. It looks like Podquest is owned by godaddy.com which appears, in turn, to be a web hosting service. Is that okay or not kosher?
(Also, in what possible circumstance other than this one is Podquest a good name to have? Who thought to buy that one up? Odd.)
Further, I officially declare Spellcast to be completely awesome.

I agree, and if the internet were a happy, fluffy place I'd be entirely in favour. Unfortunately there's a danger with this approach that I'm not going to state more explicitly in case it gives people evil ideas. I'd strongly recommend that contestants keep their suggestions private. |

One of my first thoughts was dragonpod.org. In checking for availability, I see that Steve registered it a few days ago.

Does that mean he is going to use it? |

Does that mean he is going to use it? Not necessarily. It just means he liked it enough to make sure no one else registers it. That doesn't mean he won't find one that he likes better. The contest is open until the 15th so there's plenty of time to find the one true gem that everyone will agree is the name for the new podcast. |

It just means he liked it enough to make sure no one else registers it. Which makes sense -- although I don't personally like Dragonpod as a title, if it's what a significant portion of the population first thinks of when they think of "fantasy" + "podcast", then it's certainly got a branding advantage. Even if he selects a different name, he could always set up a redirect or advertisement on DP. |

Dragonpod was the first thing I thought of too. I would not complain if it were selected.
However, if you ever do a children's podcast, you really should consider the name "Podkayne" for Heinlein's Podkayne of Mars. The domains are wide open. The only drawback for that one is that it would be hard to spell, but otherwise it's perfect.
Hmm
