Valued readers, would you be so kind as to lend 15 seconds of your time completing the following task for me, your humble host. I ask that, from among the five names below (which, for various reasons, all begin with the word “cite”), you choose the one name that you believe sounds the best. The one that rolls off your tongue most easily. The one that you think is, well, coolest. Please do not bother yourself with trying to guess the meaning of the name, or the purpose of this exercise (though many of you will no doubt have a good idea). I am after your immediate gut feeling response. Please leave your response as a comment on this post.
- Citemind
- Citecloud
- Citefish
- Citecrowd
- Citemarket
I would be more than grateful if you could point your friends and colleagues at this blog entry, particularly if they are involved in writing research manuscripts.
Thank you!

citemind (it’s the alliteration of i-i that works well)
cite(n)ation?
Citefish or citecrowd? Citemarket is too long – the ones with 2 syllables are much catchier.
Citefish, though I really like the suggestion of citenation, punctuated however you like.
I like citenation, too. It was one we looked at right at the beginning. Problem is, the domain name is gone. It’s amazing how many weird domain names are being squatted on.
I like the sound of citemind too. My brain twists it into ‘out of cite, out of mind’.
“out of cite, out of mind” is pretty cool.
godaddy seem to have some domain brokers that will do the leg work of trying to buy a domain from someone for $60+10% of the price, which might work for citenation; you could try putting it on backorder too, since it expires in a month.
you could register citeria via auctions.godaddy.com for $100, which sounds kinda cool, and doesn’t seem too outrageous.
Citecrowd or Citemind. I would also like to object vehemently against Citefish and Citemarket. One is stupid and the other doesn’t feel natural to pronounce. Now Citemark on the otherhand…
I think Citeria is a great suggestion – I’d definitely try to go with that. However, I think the best one in the original list is Citemind. I dislike Citefish and Citemarket for the reasons Tinni mentioned.
Citemind
also thought of citing (taken, but ‘citeing’ isn’t), citable (taken), incite (.com is available, .org isn’t).
citealicious? :-)
citefish, definitely.
I like citemind the most, especially given the target audience.
“citecloud – let your research rain on down” ;)
I don’t know anything about this project, but think that “citemind” rolls off the tongue the best. But “citecloud” is more memorable.
Citefish is the easiest to say IMHO
But did you consider…
citegenius
cite-scud
cite-mart or
cite-nebula ?
Cheers from the mainframe man
So, citemind it is, huh? :)
[…] those who responded to my plea for help by leaving a comment or responding out-of-band, thank you very much. We’ve settled on a name […]
