I would suggest HNews. You get the HN that as maguay says is how we all shorten "Hacker News" but at the same name you will avoid being too cryptic by using a two letters name. At the same time having the keyword "news" in your application

I was not a downvoter but I think that your comment is a bit problematic. First of all, saying that not all geeks celebrating Christmas is at least obvious. In addition, think of this hypothetical question and you may understand the downvo
