How bout "The Core"

TOM THUMB

- first American steam locomotive (rile our red, white and blue blood)
- it was very small (you're making a MINI compressor)
- slow and steady (there's faster out there but it's not always a race; also reminds me of AGD's marketing strategy as opposed to the rest of paintball's infinite list of stale, burnt out, expired companies--you can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig)
- what wife/mom will argue with this setup when it's named Tom Thumb?


"It needs to meet the following criteria:

"Not sound like something familiar with compressors . Along the lines of Apple for computers and Amazon for books. They dont' sound like the products they represent."
- Steam and air is the closest link... CHECK!

"Good if it sounds small."
- Tom and Thumb, two syllables... CHECK!

"No personal names like Kaye Kompressors"
- Eh, but I think everyone would love to have TOM in the name--it'll envoke greatness! A subtle but poignant easter egg for all of us.

"Should be easily searched on google and easy to spell."
- T-O-M and T-H-U-M-B, a third grader can spell that... CHECK!

"Needs to be CATCHY so you don't forget it."
- "Hey do you have air to play today?" "Yeah, I hooked my tank up to my Tom Thumb last night so I'm good to go!"
- the two "t"s can be stretched as being alliteration
- it's also vaguely familiar of the Tom Tom GPS system which is rather catchy... CHECK!

"Relating to pellet guns a bonus."
- Hrm, nope, but maybe one day it'll join the illustrious ranks of Crosman, Daisy and Red Ryder!


(Just my little thought on the matter...)

Stick,

That was a nice analysis and they type of thinking I am looking for. "Thumb Compressors" might be interesting.

I also liked Core but it was already in use.


By the way I am posting stuff to facebook on the minicompressor page.

How about turtle? It represents strong and long lived with slow and steady operation. Or variations thereof.

Aw shucks, you could always do a little switch - Kore

K names are better anyway

How about the Legionair (Legion-air)?

That's already in use by MacDev.

My suggestion is a Boa Compressor because... well, it squeezes the air... like a boa constrictor. You could even put a snake decal on it.

Go figure!

Thats cool too!

[Coralis]

Totally tongue in cheek. How about the Gardner Bros , because its full of hot air.

[JKR]

How about "The Pufferfish?"

[jolt00]

how about the jar

[Gunga]

Could always recycle the Micro CA name. CA in the original version standing for Constant Air, I'd guess? 'Course these days it'd be standing for Compressed Air.

Or since the compressor's not really micro, nor is it ginormous, could make it Mini CA instead?

Or...FHF or 4HF for Four Hour Fill.
