pAddons

[p3lim]

I want some decent names on my addons, but im not the creative type.

So, I ask you, the community, to help me with this "issue" of mine.

The addons in question is the following:

* pStats
* pMinimap
* pMap

Any help is appriciated

Suggestions?

pStats -> Observance
pMinimap -> Oversight
pMap -> Globe

[p3lim]

Yes suggestions, I just cant really come up with something creative myself :/

I usually like when addon names stick to a trend like yours do. It's generally easier to remember and to tell friends about.

I agree with IceShadow. Your addons are great, and always easy to find. Don't change it!

[Cralor]

I agree, too, that you should keep it the way it is. The best name for your addons are the names that you pick for each one. There isn't many other addons that follow your theme. It is nice to have change. Change is life. Everyone is different in a perfectly good way :P

All in all: Keep your names.

Just my thoughts.

Keep your original names.

Just keep'em.

+1 vote to keep the pX nomenclature.

If it makes you (the author) feel better about "not being creative" enough, know that such simple naming helps identify a brand or author of an addon. Along with that recognition comes certain stylistic and functional expectations stemming from experience with using any "p" addon.

For example, if I see pMap here at WoWI, I've come to expect -without ever having used it - that it will provide some very basic and light-weight map functionality. Which is something that I'd value when looking for a Map addon. I don't need p3lim's Slim-Shady Geo-Metric At-las of Sweet-ness. I just sort of want pMap. Ditto with the other pAddons. Capiché?

Perfect example is that I found this topic while looking/searching out a list of pAddons to use as I am in process of rebuilding my UI from the ground up with one critical aim being to reduce my addon overhead by focusing on purpose-built addons vs 'feature-rich' addons. I immediately thought of p3lim's stuff.

Ok ok, I'll stick to the old names then..

Thanks for the kind words though
