There are only so many words in the language.


If by so many, you mean more than 170,000 in active use, plus all the puns, plays on words, or portmanteaus which don't qualify as words but can easily be the name of a software project.


And there are 10 million Github repos out there!

So yeah... we're running out. ;)


Maybe we have to concatenate some words and create a new word which doesn't exist in English dictionary to get a unique project name :)
