Hi all. This is my first post here and i'm from Italy (sorry for my English  ).
I'm setting up a software house with 3 friends. We're gonna create software, web sites and sell the hardware needed to run them.
Now the problem is: what name for the software house?
We're trying to find an appropriate name to create a logo and to register the domain for the website.
Please, help us find this name 
Thanks in advance for all your replies.
Regards,
Luca

All the good ones are taken I'm afraid.
I had a hard time finding one myself, I ended up with "Softicide".
Minh's got "Goduku", SlackMaster's got "DamnedNice", I don't know what Cybermagellan's friend chose though.

Originally, I used IDXT. It was incredibly brilliant on my part - Officially, it was an acronym for "InDependent eXpert Technicians". Unofficially, X is the roman numeral for 10...

Softicide, what is that? "Death by software?" 
Suggest you (OP) derive a name from something that is meaningful to the founders: related to what you'd like it to do or why you're doing it.

Yep, it was a silent nod towards "Maxis" (Six AM backwards), staying up 'till the ungodly hours to complete a function then dying from a lack of sleep.

Or:
- The crime of murdering a process (i.e. typing Ctrl-C)
- What applications do when they terminate themselves
- Something you spray on your hardware to repel software
- Something you'd say about an animal's skin ("Wow, this calfskin is the softest hide I've ever felt")
- Death by being smothered by a Playboy Playmate

Well, "Hof" is actually more a farmyard than a house
House in its original meaning is translated to german as "Haus"
