    Seriously, i always liked the company names that were just too bold to be true. Rockstar for example, it just works. I'll be back with more and actually decent examples tomorrow

    Ahaha yeah we discussed this a lot. All names that have a positive thing about them is good for me =)

    Sliced and Diced meh likes. Exit Strategy really has negative connotations, ill side with mazy there. IMO you need an exit strategy either when the job is done or more likely when its fubared ( iraq, afghanistan ) to get out without loosing too much of your face.

    bold names are great, also you cold consider that it is helpfull to have a name nerds can make abbreviations of as in "FTW-Games". "oi u heard what FTW are doing?"

    SnD is a good abbrevation, so is ES.. MapCore is boiled down to 'core at best, noone would use MC

    Thats why MapCore is a good name imo, since it cant be boiled down to something you cant understand if you dont know what it is. If you ever hear a conversation where someone is discussing something and that name pops up you'd most likely recognize and remember the term 'mapcore', while you wouldnt remember an abbrevation like for instance SnD, and most certainly wouldnt remember what it stood for since it probably never came up in the discussion that you overheard (or even was a part of but never asked)...

    At least we now know that Borderless is out

    My vote would go to Awesome Games if it was possible to add new ones

    funny, i was thinking of a studio name a while back, and came up with levelheaded studios. i choose this entirely because you'd be able to call employees levelheads.

    "Exit Strategy" is one of those very rare combinations of words which can really make the eye of any investor shine.

    How about just "Core"? Short, sweet, strong word. Slap an "interactive" or something on the end. You could also call it CoreSoft, the inverse of softcore

    Sliced and Diced is a little cheesy for me. Although I can almost see the Sliced(light flash of a blade making a backslash)Diced title screen

    Exit Strategy sounds good, but negative connotations for sure.

    Borderless Games just doesn't sound right. Doesn't have any ring to it.

    wasn't core the name of the studio that did the first tomb raider?

    yes it was and you could clearly tell how much they cared about copyright by using namcos pacman logo in their font
