Name idea?

I'm working on a filesharing application and i need a name. As it is a *nix-dependant (for now) application i'd really like a recursive acronym style name.

If it helps to know it's target-group is going to be small communitys (ex. mp3 sharing of a specific grene).

Well, Its written in C++. But my C++ code looks more like C. So it's somewhere in the middle. (i wouldnt be surprised if some of the files actually would compile in a C compiler)

Hmm, now i actually need some design advice.

What's the best way to store (and transfer) an array of undefined length char[]s ? (i'm remaking the shared files list)

sending an array structs looking like this
struct blah
{
char filename [255];
(some more variables)
unsigned int size;
};

is not very efficient since most names are about 10-25 chars long... but having a 25 chars long filename var leaves all longer names out in the cold.

That doesent work very well if you plan to send it over a socket.

Anyway, i figured out a solution to the problem.

I'm gonna compress everything i send using zLib. that would turn the uneccessary NULLs filling filename[255] into virtually nothing.

Don't we all? Or, what does that mean, an example would be nice. Is "x86MeOneMoreTime" a 'recursive acronym'?

Cool names, are well, cool. Cool apps, define the name:

napster

maybe 'zapster'?

ebay

maybe 'Obay'?

mom

maybe 'dad'?

work on the app, if you build it, name will come...
