France must be an acronym for something if my company is any indication of how things are named in this country (and one really has to wonder, because I’m referring to the half of my company, pre merger, which was state owned and thus more ‘French’ than ‘International’ (in my opinion)).
The each letter in the acronym can represent the first word of the project description ; or 2 letters from the first word, the 3rd letter from the second word, and the last letter of the last word ; or some other crazy system, which lends you no help in trying to determine just what exactly the project is supposed to be. Here is just a sampling of projects, software projects, databases, etc. that we use for all sorts of things including technology updates (email, computer), price curves, valuation tools, etc. :
skipper, melinda, meteor, sicav, actarus, vegas, pomax, valse, pluggin, and my personal favourite, gedy (complete with a picture of C3P0).
And while they are quite creative, spending hours, days, weeks on meetings and votes/polls for names of new projects, naming of children is a bit simpler .... Jean-Philippe, Jean-Claude, Jean-Noel, Jean-Marie, Jean-Charles, Jean-Luc, Jean-Baptiste ...
I’ll give a prize to the best creation of what France, or Paris, could represent.
e.g. Paris = Pretty Area Ruined In Sh!t
