What's in a Name?

So, we're trying to come up with a name for this "Tool of the Future" thing. Following Andy's lead, we started thinking about acronyms.

Here is a list of words that we may wish to use to describe the project
Astonomy/Astonomical     Analysis     Adaptive
Creation     Construct/Construction     Customizable     Companion
Development Design
Environment   Extensible
Graphical
Host     Helper
Interactive   Immediate
Multi-mission   Millenium
Next
Observer/Observation/Obseratory
Proposal     Portable     Program     Plan/Planning
Responsive     Redesigned
Suite     Space     System     Simulation
Telescope     Tool
Unified     User
Visual
Work/Workbench

Here are some of acronyns we've already come up with
RAPID:            Responsive Analysis Programs for Inter-observatory Development
GRECO:          Graphically Redisgned Environment for Creating Observations
STAGE:          STScI Tools in an Adaptive Graphical Environment
GREAT:          Graphical Responsive Environment for Astronomical Tools
GROW:           Graphical Responsive Observational Workbench
VOTE:             Visual Observatory Tools Environment
ANTE:             Astronomy's Next Tools Environment
SOCRATEs:    STScI's Observation Creator - a Responsive Adaptive Tool Environment

new ones...
