Naming

Today we met to decide on a name, we wrote these names on post-its and voted. Any which got three or more votes were shortlisted however none of these seemed right. We ended up looking up words in Te Reo and making a list of fitting words.
Then we wrote them on the board, and chose categories such as memorability, meaning, pronunciation, rhythm. Every member of Library 2.0 then gave each word a score out of 5 or 10 for each category (traits mentioned before were weighted depending on how important we thought it was).
We found this approach worked well as everyone was able to have an equal say and it forced us to consider each trait of all the words.
