IANAL, but i strongly recommend reconsidering the name as the current one contains a trademark.
- tiffanyh 3y agoThey could take the Postgres naming approach. Ingress was forked; the Post fork version of Ingress was called "Post"gres. So maybe name this new project "PostX" (for Post + nginx). Though that might sound too similar to posix.
- virtualwhys 3y ago"Postginx" has a nice ring to it, could be an alcoholic beverage, a name of a generation, or even a web server.

- agateau 3y agoSounds like an character from the Asterix comic book :)
- icybox 3y ago... and postfix
- anotherhue 3y agoGo roman? nginxii ?
- bandie91 3y agoare we at the twelfth fork? :)
- Nijikokun 3y agoPostgres name is said to be a reference to ingres db, not a fork of ingres. > The INGRES relational database management system (DBMS) was implemented during 1975-1977 at the Univerisity of California. Since 1978 various prototype extensions have been made to support distributed databases [STON83a], ordered relations [STON83b], abstract data types [STON83c], and QUEL as a data type [STON84a]. In addition, we proposed but never prototyped a new application program interface [STON84b]. The University of California version of INGRES has been ‘‘hacked up enough’’ to make the inclusion of substantial new function extremely difficult. Another problem with continuing to extend the existing system is that many of our proposed ideas would be difficult to integrate into that system because of earlier design decisions. Consequently, we are building a new database system, called POSTGRES (POSTinGRES). [https://dsf.berkeley.edu/papers/ERL-M85-95.pdf https://dsf.berkeley.edu/papers/ERL-M85-95.pdf]
- tiffanyh 3y agoIsn't this a bit pedantic. Fork vs "hacked up [Ingress] enough ... Consequently, building a new database system" named Postgres.

- patrickmay 3y agonginy?
- austinjp 3y agoBump each letter in nginx and we get.... ohjoy!
- Silasdev 3y agoInsane find. Brilliant!!
- endofreach 3y agoDude, please, just create a fork & explain the name. ohjoy sounds perfect and the meaning is brilliant. This must be it.
- dystroy 3y agoThis might even look like enough a reason to spend the rest of their life maintaining it.
- yakshaving_jgt 3y agoJesus Christ. That’s incredible.
- skykooler 3y agoWow, that's perfect!
- 22c 3y agoThere was also a time where ng postfix was used to denote "next generation", so they could go with nginxng :)
- CodeWriter23 3y agoNot necessary. It’s not like F5 is going to go to Russia and file suit against any of them.
- osigurdson 3y agoMaybe not today, but one day they might. Better to start with a workable long term name.
