I was talking to my parents about my latest side project, Anorak (http://anorakci.com) and they both laughed at the name.

I genuinely felt embarrassed when I explained to them that the majority of startups etc have "silly" names. As I was talking about Anorak to them, every time I said it's name, I felt silly.

And yet, it's never bothered me before.

I'm not changing the name, but it made me realise.

That ci on the end hard to remember. I checked and anorak is taken--as usual, but there's got to be something else? Maybe Theanorak?

It is, but it stands for "continuous integration" - I'd have gone with "anorak.com" but as you said, it's taken.
