I was going to suggest "Wagic:the Forge" (WTF), but found that Wagic was already used...

I don't know how two people came up with Wagic separately. I can't figure out what the W stands for.
Forge isn't perfectly descriptive to me either. From a branding standpoint it's good when the name means exactly what it says and describes the product. Unfortunately there are lots of companies who ignore this basic advice. AFLAC anyone? They spend millions of dollars trying to brand what is essentially a meaningless name. I guess it worked for Xerox and Kodak though.

Branding is hard work, lol. I still like AI Mage or something that has a mystical, magical word in its name, but in the end I don't think people will use/download my program more if it has a better name, but who knows?
