Title: after pouring lots and lots of hours into your project, how do you decide the name for it?

    I’m not a programmer, but I have quite a few non-programming related projects. Sure, it’s not a programming project, but maybe some of the rule could apply.

    I usually name my project as:

    • Literal description of what it is (i.e. “raccoon story” for a story about raccoons)
    • The first point but in a foreign language, usually German (i.e. “Waschbär Gesichte”) just to make it more spicy.
    • More likely than above, random words or phrases, usually the first thing I think.
    • Random gibberish.
    • And best of all: Untitled [number]
    • I also name some of my projects like I’m naming a variable.
