What's in a name?

The mystical forces of nature have aligned and Beatles Rock Band has been released into the wild. Speaking of alignment...after some research, Athena has come up with an excellent name for the online paper:
Arke or Arce (ahr-see)
During the Titan Wars, the goddess Arke, was the messenger for the Titans, while her twin sister was the messenger for the Olympian Gods. "News Arke" or "Arke News" would be a fitting name for the online newspaper because that's exactly what we'll be doing delivering news to the Titans.
Other suggestions have included Titan Voice, Titan Tabloid, Titan Template Online.

    I like Titan Voice, or just Voice. The Arke one is unique but I don't think it flows as well.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Never mind about the Arke, it's nice but it sounds funny. I agree with Chloe that it should be Voice without the Titan.

  24. i like the arke news or the titan tabloid

  25. News Arke sounds unique, but still relating to our school. If the name sticks, the design or graphics for the site could easily be tied in with the school and the character of Arke.

    Arke makes perfect sence.. no one would know what it was, but its exciting and original.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I like Titan Voice, it reflects us as Titans, and is slightly different from "Titan Template." It would be cool to have a name that has a symbolic meaning, so I'm fine with News Arke as well.

  48. I like "Arke News"

    ReplyDelete
  49. I like the sound of News Arke, because I like the concept behind it. My concern, however, is that this name does not have a direct connection to the name of our school. There is no Hercules or Titans in it. Maybe The Titan Arke? If not, I also like The Titan Voice.

  51. Titan Voice! I don't think a lot of people will get the Arke/Arce name.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I think Titan Voice sounds nice. It is easy to comprehend and people will know what to expect in terms of what will be in the online newspaper.

    I don't like News Arke/ Arke News because it's boring and most people wouldn't understand why we would use that. SO BOOOOOOOOOOO News Arke/ News Arke!! Titans voice sounds ok.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Arke News sounds fitting, but perhaps its meaning won't be understood by other readers, but it is good/professional

    ReplyDelete
  60. News Arke (Arce)seems good but what bugs me about it is the fact the Titans lost the war. Arke also isn't very well known.

    I'm leaning towards News Arke because there's meaning behind it and that way one can associate news with the Title without having the name plate being cliche. Nevertheless Voice is a good runner up because it's simple, yet powerful.

    Conventional parents, all across the nation, are vehement towards President Obama’s back-to-school speech. Some parents are agitated by this speech as it has not been reviewed by the State Board of Education and local boards for political content, while some parents are objecting to this speech for its socialism manipulation. Another concern is from the Democrats in Congress; Obama is referring to this as a speech, but in reality, could be a political advertisement, similar to George Bush’s case in 1991.

    Regardless, these parents are unruly and putting the blame on Obama, which is unprofessional and unnecessary. Just because parents doesn’t agree with his ideas, does not mean their children has to be banned from listening to his speech. Both parents and students are capable of making their own decision as to tune in or tune out.

    I think Titan Voice is the most appropriate name. While News Arke has historical meaning, only those who have actually done research on the Titans will understand it. Others will question it (in my opinion). The Titans are more easily associated with in terms of history; and, after all, we ARE the Titans, not the Arkes.
