It is also the name for an australian actore, Yahoo Serious, dis some
wild comedies in the 80-90's

In line with the 2 fold name, how about
Icefuji Falcon - ColdFire Falcon compatible (which is what ACP is)

Like I said before, if we can keep even the vague essence of Cold
+Fire in the name (even with another language), remembering it, and
doing new graphic work for it should be quite easy

the above one leads to a graphic of "a blue (ice) Falcon rising from
(blue) fire", as opposed to the previous one, purely ColdFire, "a blue
fire with ice logs and the sound of fire + ice cracking".

I am thinking of a flash based demo, as functional version of what
would be seen on the ACP boot screen..

I still like the sound of Coltari/Cooltari, being an Coldfire based
Atari, so Coltari Falcon being the first model (or the Falcon
compatible one), the accidental colt part can leed to other animal
names in the future, allowing horse and bird themes (Brumby, Mustang,
Condor, Hawk) but also horse/bird type names (Thunderbolt, Pharlap,
Thunderwing, IceStorm) as well as other animal style names by default
(Jersey, Cheetah, Ramstein)

it seems to me that the problem will not be getting a name, original
or otherwise, but getting everyone to agree on a single one :) I
suggest using the name in common speaking, to get a feel of how it
rolls off the tounge, and how others respond to it.. particularly both
non-atari aware people, and those afflicted
