[Imc-alternatives] What's in a Name?

[Jay]

Thanks Michael!

I just went through and added my rankings...then I remembered that 
we're still asking for brainstorming ideas until May 16, after which 
we should all be ecouraged to rank and comment.  I'm not sure how to 
take my rankings off though, so I'll just leave them.  Make more name 
suggestions here on this list.  Maybe some magical idea will appear 
and we'll all love it.
