Ask HN: Help me choose a name for my project
As a side project, I'm developing a gaming jobs board; pairing developers with game companies. I've narrowed my naming search down to three names:
1) Work In Gaming
2) Gaming Work
3) Gaming Careers
Any help deciding between these or other suggestions would be appreciated.

- onion2k 14y agoreallyinsecurejobswithridiculoushoursandawfulpay.com is available. ;) Seriously, games development is the worst part of the software industry. It might have a glamorous appeal, but the horror stories that come out of games companies should scare everyone away. ("Work In Games" would be a better bet. People are unlikely to Google "gaming" if they're looking for a games dev job.)
- amac 14y agoI know - I develop games. Whilst there's things not to like e.g fixing bugs, cyclical nature of the industry etc, the fact remains in software you're either writing something for productivity or games. Thanks for the tip on the name; work in games/gaming feels the best of the names i've come up with. Any other suggestions welcome.
