After receiving this mail, I think that we should find an other name
for the project. I am open to suggestion

Dear Sir,

I recently discovered that you are attempting to use the name
"FlashGameMaker" for your own services. I own the domain name
FlashGameMaker and have used this name for many years for my business.
I would appreciate it if you stopped using that name.

Thank you.

Regards
Phil

I dunno I will pay if we change but we need to think a bout something original and characteristic of the project. At the end FGM is that cool too generic. I am sure that people will find something till then we keep FGM it is temporary.

Thats rightcause game maker sounds amateuristic that u can only create wack games with it. And thats not true of course so should be somthing more professional with engine or whatever

A few more name ideas:

GameFrame (probably taken)
Flash Carbon
Aga Engine: Actionscript Game Architect
Flash Nice: Nice Internal Class-based Engine

I like Aga, because it could have two parts, the engine, named Aga
Engine, and the Aga tools, promptly titled "Aga Toolset."

Just a few names off the top of my head. However, you are within your
legal right to use Flash Game Maker as the name, because you are
offering it as an engine, not a service. I am 100% certain this is
legal, but I honestly don't like the generic name, anyway.

You could contact the other guy and discuss a link share to prevent
any confusion. I've seen this work in the past with various sites,
especially open source projects. The other guy would probably welcome
a link share, as this helps advertise his site, but if he thinks it
will take away from his business to have a game engine listed under
the same name, that's his prerogative. You don't have to link to each
other, just accept that the two sites are different enough to share
the same name.

Thanks jam ! I like the AGA and Carbon name. Regarding this guy I
don't really care about him he doesn't have any trademark or anything.
The only problem for me is that FGM is a generic name. It doesn't
caracterize us and doesn't give us any + (brand identity, creative or
surprising and easy to remember name). So if we can all together come
up with something better and meaningfull we will go for it otherwise
we will stich with FGM. But I am 100% sure that we are creative enough
to find something funny

What if you only keep it FGM in order to create then a modulable name.
Like FGM and under changing theme FlashGeekMonetizer,
FlashGorillaMoney (Gorilla because we are the strongest in this engine
jungle) or else so the name of the engine wille be FGM but we will
associated whith random theme and images. What do you think? Does it
make sense?
