I think I actually do like Cougar.
Part of the reason is that it does sort of play off the animal theme used in the automotive world - Janguar, Mustang, heck, even Bug.
It plays well against Zilla too. Instead of a giant dinosaur, our controller is just a slightly more friendly wild animal.
I suggest COUGAR as the general controller name, and Lil Miss Mosfet as the personal name of controller serial #00001.

Ooh, I like the idea of individual, personalized names. When I build mine, I'll name it OSCAR the Cougar. If Intrigued doesn't mind.  |

I just like 2 syllables nicknames. I don't know but to me little miss mosfet sounds great as mimo.

Call it the "Flex Capacitor" .. Eventually you'll be able to run 1.21 Jiggawatts through it right?

The only thing that can supply that kind of power is a bolt of lightning! But unfortunately, you never no when or where it's ever going to strike!
You do now!
Give me that piece of paper of the clock tower!

Yeah, I like "Open Revolt". Count on the master punster to come up with something good.
AND... you could shorten it to OpRe! (which is what people in the south call Oprah. I think. Don't they?)
Paul: we started this with no clear deadline or without indicating if this was just the nomination round. Since it's your party, you can call the shots & pick the winner.

Shucks, no, I don't mind. I'd be honored. Better than Oscar the Grouch, huh!
