Wise move.

Tuscany is now a name used in the Apache world for the implementation of Service Component Architecture. Code naming your project Tuscany would be about like naming it "J2EE".

Not "Tuscany. Call it "Amy."

John,

Is it too late to change the code name to "Amy?"

Before you tell me that you can't name a product after me, type in "Amy" to placenames.com. Amy is the name of many U.S. locations, including lakes, towns, rivers, mines, peaks, and islands.

Remember, I have a birthday coming up.

Love,
Amy

Jeff, I didn't know when we selected the name that Apache had a project with the same codename. The nice thing about codenames based on places is that you don't have to deal with much of the rigor of a trademarked name -- it's why so many people use place names as codenames (there's a long story about Apple's codename struggle with the "Sagan," which became the "BHA" that you can look up on MSN Search).

Ya, right up until marketing gets their hands on it.

MS staff can come up with some cool project names (Avalon) only to have marketing come along and destroy them into soul deading phrases that fall off the tounge like a rock (Windows Presentation Foundation).

Expect similar intelectual violence when yer closer to shipping (then you'll look back at VS Live with longing, I am sure!)
