I think any group or member of the board with the word "pyro" in,
should be branded as having "not much imagination"



"Fire" on the other hand... well, thats different.



I'll tell frodo, strugz and 2 bags when I see them next

A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

Hey! I came up with Pyromorph and Pyrogasm long before it was cool to be Pyro. I think everyone else is just following my trend, and that I had loads of imagination when I came up with them XX years ago!

"Fire" on the other hand....been around too long....it's just boring.

Alright, so despite the noticable lack of suggestions for names, I have a few figured. deHYDRAtion was one, as was Dragons Inc.

So do people have suggestions, which they're hiding? Or do I wander off alone again to try and figure it out with a thesaurus?

After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.

I may disagree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

reminds me of Monsters Inc, which is an awesome movie but has little to do with fire

It's de-HYDRA-tion, Hydra being a mythological monster that kept regrowing it's heads when they were cut off, and could only be killed by applying a burning torch to the stumps of it's necks. Also a pun on (obviously) dehydration, which is a lack of water...

After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.

Basically as long as the .com-name is still available, anything goes. As soon as the domain name is registered, you might get into troubles when using a name that is already out there.

Especially as long as it's not registered for a certain type of merchandise.

If a name is registered for a specific type of product (for say Quicksilver reg.d for Computer Software) you may use a slightly different spelling, for example: Quiksilver - and swooops you can distribute clothing and accessories... ok, better example: if "Pyropixies" would be reg.d for electronic lamps and such, you might still be able to register "Pyropixies" as a group-name for performance.

Trademark protection is tricky, as is the use of certain logos. You have to verify each and every case individually... For say you may not be able to call your group the "Pepsis" or the "ColaComas" and use their typo...

If you are violating registered trade mark rights you may be subject to claims by the trademark-holder. The ammount of the fine is depending on the (ab)use and the "damage"... For court purposes sometimes a nominal value of 50.000 euros is set to calculate the fees (for lawyers etc.) The resulting fine may be lower or higher - depending.

So if you are choosing a name for your performance group, try an online search first before you publish it... if your "competitor in name" is a small backyard bakery you have a good chance of getting away with it and maybe even offer to join promotions... yummy... If the domain name is taken but inactive and the name NOT registered as a trademark, you may be able to register, but will not be able to claim the domain from it's owner.. But there a lot of other boring legal stuff and sidealleys kick in...

good luck

Ah, PS: the names I know of and guess are taken so far

Pyrostyxx
Pyrogarden
Firetales
Firesouls
