Default A Name For The Ogre App

My working title for the Ogre “helper” app is Ogre Adjutant. I think it’s a good name, but if you give me one I like better on this forum thread, we’ll thank you in the app credits. Here’s the tricky part: maximum 12 characters.

Don't try "My Little Ogre." It might just barely fit, what with all the skinny letters, but if I were going to use that name, and I'm not saying I'm not, it won't be for THIS app. FEAR!

Ogre Tools

Simple and to the point, a la "the Ogre Book".

Presumably, there will be OGRE record sheets, along with CRT, Unit & Terrain reference sheets.

edited: Through page 6, I also like:
- "Ogre AdC"
- "The Ogre App"

AdC has great grognard appeal, but is less approachable to the gaming public.
The Ogre App is named exactly like the Ogre Book, so makes a great digital companion.

Way back when, a friend of mine called me up, and all he said was "Ogre ogre ogre!", which meant we had a blast the rest of that Sunday playing Ogre and GEV scenarios all the live long day. With a break for dinner.

So I think the application should be named "OgreOgreOgre"!

Dear Mr. Jackson,

How about

OGRE A.d.C.

where A.d.C = Aide de Camp

or, if you do to GEV that which you have done to OGRE, then how about

OGRE/GEV AdC

Kind regards,

I like Ogre Aide de Camp, but I'm presenting something a little less fancy and more to the point: Ogre Buddy!

I'll go for :

Ogre Sidekick

The "kick" part is also reminiscent of Kickstarter.
