right, i need a name for my supposed company, i will write little utilitities for windows such as my alarm program and my timer program (check my website in my sig) but i really need a better name for the company than "Merlin Computers" plus someone already has this as a url,
so what i need is an original name for my company and for the name not to be already taken so i can use it as my url
i haven't anything to offer you for your help but my gratitude and that warm glowing feeling you get for helping people,
thanks for all of your suggestions 
Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
writing haskell makes your life easier:
reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13

How about MegaHard, or Pear Raincoat.
If it wasn't for this sentence I wouldn't have a signature at all.

Most normal names are going to be taken for url's and you don't really want a long name that you have to rattle of when giving out the website so what about something like
codesquad
or
runtime
or
strippersrus (I know for a fact it's available)
or
daggersoft
or
razorsoft
or
tooltech

zmerlinz, you're starting a company, right? I came up with a company that I will start when I get older(I got the idea 3 yrs ago).
Comtech Computers Corporation. The name comtech.com, comtechcorp.com, already exist. I will try and use the initials of my company's name. My site is going to be www.ctcc.com (DO NOT TAKE THAT DOMAIN OR I SHALL BE !!!VERY!!! ANGRY!).

Regarding the Strippers r' Us idea. Me and a bunch of mates were going to set up a company called this a few months ago, with the ostensible aim of making an internet site were people could log in and order strippers for parties and the like.
We were all going to chip in a couple of grand each, or even try and get a government grant, and then go off on a two week tour of strip bars in North America getting pissed up.
We'd all then come home, declare that our "research" showed that it wasn't viable, shut the company down and write the whole holiday off against tax.
Our wives stopped the idea though when they realised that we weren't joking! So if anyone else wants to do this, feel free.

Back to the company name though, how about something grand and impressive!
Like "Zorg the Mighty's Intergalactic Trading Corporation."
I tell you, in a few thousand years Zorg the mighty will be prepared to pay a good few thousand Spankies (the currency of the future) for the rights to that name!
