Good question @thom, thanks! Officially, there is no process that I know of - it’s a broad ecosystem, and goodness knows we’ve seen all kinds of names 😃. Honestly, asking first is a better start than many projects get 😉

However, we can offer a few things to think about at least:

- Don’t use “Ansible”! As [was discussed just yesterday](http://forum.ansible.com/t/ansible-engine-what-is-it-exactly/912/10) it already means a lot of things, don’t make that worse if you can help it.
- Take a look at the [ecosystem](https://docs.ansible.com/ecosystem) page to see some of the other projects - good for inspiration and to see what’s taken
- There are some [logo & brand guidelines](https://ansible.com/logos) that might be worth checking out, though it won’t affect **naming** per se.
- And, of course, be nice, don’t pick something offensive - should be obvious but I have to say it 😛

Otherwise, the better question might be - what are you building? 👀
