What's in a Name?

Said the famous researcher, slightly embarrassed, "We needed a catchy name that was short for Bayesian Logic. We thought BLOG sounded good. Only after it was too late did we realize that you can't Google the term and find anything at all related."

I think "Googlability" is an excellent metric when choosing names for things. That's why my first kid will be named Ambiguous Moonchilds.
