A better name? about rav1e HOT 14 CLOSED

The 1 is silent (in my head at least), so I'm ok with rav1e.

from rav1e.

Rave

from rav1e.

rav1e seems search friendly so far.

It can be pronounced as rave or ravìe for additional confusion points during the presentations.

I'm sure we can come up with enough shape of pasta for the release codenames. (I book the first pre release as plin)

The 'r' of rav1e made me think of the R of Racing version. If #1 goal of this project is SPEED.
So, I'd propose 'av1R' or 'av1Rus'.

Btw, I guess you mean the 'Rave', the English word?

from rav1e.

I still like ravioli (with or without the i as 1). I would also support xav1 :)

ravioli

Is not a serious enough encoder name. I guess Android names are not serious either, ...

from rav1e.

Yes, we wanna go sth like: 2F2F, Need For Speed.

from rav1e.

So, nobody likes av1Rus (didn't mean 'toysRus' in the beginning :)

from rav1e.

TGV encoder 🚅 , as in The Greatest Video encoder, but mostly as a reference to the Train à Grande Vitesse.

from rav1e.

I like another suggestion of smarter's, "zeppelin":

<smarter> ltrudeau: we could call the encoder zeppelin

from rav1e.

Or, I can even name it from the Street name where TDLinux's apartment is located.
What was it, TD?

from rav1e.

Metropole

as an hommage to the best hotel in Brussels. When in Brussels, any self respecting person stays at the Metropole as it not only the best but it is not a family friendly hotel, and thus does not inherit all the faults of family friendly hotels.

Closing for now at @tdaede's suggestion since it does not seem like a name change is expected, but feel free to suggest more very serious and professional names. For everyone's consideration there is also @smarter's latest suggestion Ramen.
