I think he used "oroboros ten" (or was it oroboros ex?). Anyway, now's a good time time to set it in stone...so how would you like the name of your creation pronounced? (you heard it here first , folks! :-)

  Ummm... errrr....
  
  Well, it's something I've spent quite a while thinking about...
  
  The problem is, I don't actually much like the name. I originally made it up because it started off as a slight modification to the Oroborus window manager, by Ken Lynch (see OroborOSX v0.1 -a standard, 'unix-based' window manager), but designed to look a bit better with OS X.
  
  Then I figured out how to do some neat integration by turning it into a Carbon app...
  
  What I really want is to change the name -make it more evocative of a "Complete Environment for Running X11 Applications on Mac OS X" (CERXAMOSX!).
  
  Any suggestions would be most welcome...
  (Maybe I should run a competition ;-)
  
  Thanks!
  
  Adrian

  Luckily someone pointed out oroborosX to me because I was about to start writing my own simple window manager.
  
  Anyways, the name I was going to use was Akwa (pronounced like Aqua) though maybe something like AkwaX would be better.
