Lame spur of the moment idea but how about you combine the e to make

GrhymPedia, what do you think?

Sounds like a site I certainly would want to visit!

Any suggestions that I consider as being "serious", that have not been confirmed unsuitable as of yet, have now been added to the first post. However, if I may say so, I'm kind of disappointed by how many of you don't really seem to be doing much with the name at all. Actually, I'm more disappointed about how few serious suggestions there have actually been overall - I know it's not really your style or mine to take everything seriously, Team Dramander, but this IS kind of a big deal for me and I do need there to be at least some focus on the task. I don't want the jokes to stop, just make sure you have a serious one in there too.

InfoGamers and GameSource are already in use, being the names of leading Gaming blogs in Spain and Russia respectively. GamesZone is too similar to GameZone which is an American website for sharing gaming cheats and previews. All three are out of the running.

This seems to fall into the same trap as Gamerpedia in that it's a very generic name. Not to mention the assumed link with Apple it might put in people's minds.

I also think "The Gamers Collection of Information" sounds more like a slogan than a name, but it's on the list anyway, as is Grhym's EncycloGamer.

I don't know the criteria since I haven't exactly followed the topic, but I thought I'd go ahead and add my suggestions. Of course take what you will from the list. I do hope I helped a tiny bit.

We are looking for names that would be appropriate for a Gaming Wiki, to potentially use as a new name for Gamerpedia in the future. It must be a name that isn't already used by anything well-known; it should be one that can explain the site's purpose from the first time you look at it; but it must NOT lean too much towards a specific category of gaming.

I don't have any real criteria for what I put on the list or not so long as these rules are followed; but I'm more likely to plump for names that are punchy and/or short; and less likely to go for names that look or sound too similar to what's already been suggested.

I really like "GamesCodex"...

Just a couple ideas:

The Index
Digital Codex
Games Archive
Dedicated Games
iNdex
Tactix Encyclopedia

Just had to take my own "Wikigamer" off of the list as I've discovered wikigamer.org and .com are taken...

Okay, based on domain availability, feedback from various communities and my own personal satisfaction with the given suggestions, I have now decided on the new name for Gamerpedia. The site will relaunch later this week, once I have it all configured properly; and I'll post an announcement about it at this time.
