In the donation drive thread the question has been raised about what name we'll be giving the new server. Since I'm planning to start the OS install any day now, it would probably be useful to have a hostname to give it, so I'm opening it up for discussion. If you have an idea for a cool hostname, preferably Shadowrun related, post it. I have a surprise bonus in mind for the person who comes up with the name we like the most.

My first suggestion was Leela, but that's related to the old hostname of Cortana rather than to Shadowrun. Perhaps Renny?

How about what I use for my what is it my title (?) Project Terminus: Soul Hunters It includes part of the names to 3 Shadowrun novels.
The Terminus Experiment Stranger Souls Headhunters Decided to use Project instead of Experiment sounded better when teamed up with Soul Hunters but hey just a thought. |

Leela? I suppose, though Cortana's also strongly thematically related to Durandal. One might even say that they're "of the same temper". |

I don't get how it relates to Shadowrun though.
