I like Echinda. Good idea.

The simple iSurf wouldn't be bad. Probably not get through legal though.

Well, Chimera uses the Gecko layout engine, try to pull something from that.

Technically, they could keep "ki-mere-a" as the name. According to <a href="http://www.unifi.it/unifi/surfchem/solid/bardi/chimera/origins.html"; target="_blank">this site</a>, Chimaera is the proper name for Chimera.

From the above site.

Lion, Goat, Snake. Hmmmmm... maybe something will spawn from this study of Chimera

Doesn't it mean truck as well?

No, that's camión. Camino is simply a walkway, pathway, or something similar. It's not quite a street, but it has more to do with a smaller (and with implications of beautiful) road.

What bauman said. Camino is a walkway. Similarly, "caminar" is the verb "to walk" and "yo camino" means "I walk". Hmm... I walk? iWalk? SpyMac?

Anyhow, perhaps you are thinking of that weird Chevy car-truck hybrid thing from the 80's that they called the "El Camino". Bleh.

That'd be like saying a "Nova" is a car, not a celestial event.

um... the chevrolet el camino was not just from the 80s... although the 80s version was the most horrid.

they were made in 1959-1960 and then 1964-1988

and my own :-D

Well, it's that hideous 80s style that's burned onto the backside of my retina. *shudder*

what was worse is that some companies actually copied the 80s versions....what the hell were they thinking

Sosume was the first(and only) name that came to my mind.
