Name suggestions for Open ended

[smol-ninja]

Seems like we might need a new name for open ended.

Suggestion by @PaulRBerg:

• Continuous
• Flow
• FlexFlow
• Everflow
• Progressive
• TopUp

Suggestions by @smol-ninja:

• Unlock (opposite of locked which is lockup)
• OpenFlow
• Infinio
• Pulse
• Eien (its a Japanese word for eternity)

Once again, request for new names @sablier-labs/everybody.

[PaulRBerg]

My top favorites now, ordered by preference:

• Everflow
• Infinio
• Flow
• OpenFlow
• Continuous
• FlexFlow

I don't like the others:

• Unlock gives vesting vibes; consider that people use this word to refer to portions that get unlocked during a vesting period
• Eien is interesting, but it would 100% be misspelled; it doesn't pass the party test
• Pulse is boring and used by a dozen other projects
• TopUp sounds like an escrow service or a credit card service
• Progressive is vague; also, it may be confused for a non-linear distribution

[smol-ninja]

Agree with your explanations about disliking the other names (Eien can also easily be mispronounced. I have been mispronouncing it lol yt video). From the ones you liked, my order preference would be:

• Infinio
• Flow
• Flex (I like this more then Flexflow)
• Openflow
• Continuous or Continuum
• Everflow
• Flexflow

My personal preferences goes to Flow, as it's short and effective. Other names are either too long, or composed of two words ("Open-Flow"), which isn't ideal.

[PaulRBerg]

Yeah, Flow is pretty good, definitely better than Continuous (which is vague) and OpenFlow and FlexFlow (which are indeed two-word structures).

But I wouldn't call Infinio Or Everflow too long.

Everflow isn't composed of two words. Everflowing is actually a word - it means "which flows unceasingly".

[PaulRBerg]

IMO Everflow is better than Flow because it'd be a more special name. There are dozens of crypto projects with the word 'flow' in them, e.g. this $FLOW token.

[maxdesalle]

Still prefer Flow given it will be very very often prefixed by "Sablier", and "Sablier EverFlow" is too long.

[PaulRBerg]

Good point

[PaulRBerg]

Tagging @sablier-labs/everybody for their feedback.

The leading candidates thus far:

• Flow
• Everflow
• Infinio
• Flex

[razgraf]

Given our existing product is called Lockup I think a simple name fits best - they'll be part of the same product lineup, so sounding good near "Sablier Lockup and ___" is important to consider - so good final choices you've selected.

I like Flow / Flex.

---

There's also "Sablier Unlimited" (got it from ChatGPT as a synonym to "Open Ended") which sounds really really good hehe (works for the lineup too: "Lockup and Unlimited") but I fear it's a bit to grandiose.

[PaulRBerg]

Good point about Lockup matching.

But what's wrong with Sablier Lockup and Everflow? :D

"Sablier Unlimited" ... it's a bit to grandiose.

It is.

[razgraf]

Nothing I guess, I just like Flow because it's shorter.

[andreivladbrg]

My favorites from the ones already mentioned are:

• Flow
• Infinio - this one may be hard to spell

One other suggestion (also from GPT): SablierElastic - captures the idea of elasticity in funding and time constraints

[smol-ninja]

I like Sablier Elastic as well. (Sablier Lockup and Sablier Elastic).

[PaulRBerg]

In a development context, Elastic is typically used to refer to Elastic computing, e.g. AWS's EC2.

[gavriliumircea]

My favorites for now are:

• Flow
• Elastic

And I think there are a good match with Lockup as well.

In a development context, Elastic is typically used to refer to Elastic computing, e.g. AWS's EC2.

[IaroslavMazur]

Great job, @andreivladbrg, on discovering "Elastic"! I like how it sounds and what meaning it conveys (the product's user-friendliness and adaptability for the users' needs, its flexibility, etc.)

Speaking of which... Wdyat about "Flex"? 👀

"Sablier Flex" is concise, yet meaningful, while "Sablier Lockup & Flex" seem to get along well, too, and kinda outline their differences from the get-go.

[PaulRBerg]

In a development context, Elastic is typically used to refer to Elastic computing, e.g. AWS's EC2.

[andreivladbrg]

What do you guys think about Elastic @razgraf @PaulRBerg ?

Should we create a poll?

[PaulRBerg]

I don't like it all, it doesn't hint at this contract being about continuous payments.

In a development context, Elastic is typically used to refer to Elastic computing, e.g. AWS's EC2.

Good idea to create a poll, I'll do it now.

[PaulRBerg]

Created a poll here, @sablier-labs/everybody can you please vote:

Closing this discussion in favor of the poll.
