We seriously considered Last Invention as an alternative name, and actually still own lastinvention.com. For a bunch of reasons, we decided on Vicarious instead. :)

IIRC, the reasons were:

- Depending on how you read it, Last Invention can sound really ominous.

- LI is a bit of a mouthful to say, whereas Vicarious is a single word

- People generally responded better to Vicarious as a name when we asked around

Never heard of The Last One...

I'll guess this is one of the reasons? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_One_(software)
