On: Ask HN: Anyone have process for creating good internal application names?

[_grrr]

We once used the Latin names for constellations.

For example:

Pyxis -> "Compass"

Orion -> "Hunter"

There's usually a good mapping from the constellation name to a meta-feature of the app, for example, a large bloated app might be called Cetus (the whale).
