All, Let's get a name sorted. The proposed process is nominate names by Wednesday, vote by next Sunday. Please put nominations here, I will add to the list when they are seconded. I start with a few that have come up frequently: - Blue Forgotten Planet
- Celestial Timewaster
- Divergent Universe
- Non Magnus Perago Forum [Latin for Not Big Finish!]
- Not The Big Finish Forum
- The Nowhere Place
- The Unbound Big Finish Forum

I like... the UNoficialBigFinishForum
Divergent Universe sounds like we are fans of those films... timewaster sounds flippant and Blue Forgotten planet may put people off... but its the best of the list for me.

I do like the idea of Not The Big Finish theme, anything on that works for me, how about Non-Magnus-Perago-Forum NMPF or the UnofficialInternetTardis or UNIT for short (IP will probably say no ). Out of the ones tony you have mentioned I think Blue Planet theme is subtle.

Divergent Universe is by far the bst I've heard. Not for me, Divergent Universe just sort of rubs me the wrong way.
What we have now is OK, UnofficialBigFinishForum would be OK as well, if it's not too many characters.

I'll nominate The Unbound Big Finish Forum so, as that works for me... although The Divergent Universe isn't a bad title either.

Like some other members, I dislike the Divergent Universe name. But the most usable alternative I have devised is "Oh No It Isn't!"

I'm fine with the current name. I don't see it as being negative, it reminds me of "not the nine o'clock news"

Remember this is a nominating thread not a voting thread!
Also the 'Not The...' might be a bit UK centric as a joke (and I didn't spot it myself, despite watching the show in question!)

nonmagnusperago is meaningless babble to me, not going to secure my vote.

I'll nominate The Unbound Big Finish Forum so, as that works for me... although The Divergent Universe isn't a bad title either. I'd like to second this nomination and not just because the excellent name of the poster . I like it, it says to me - a Big Finish forum without the constraints of it being official, plus a nod to fan favourite range.
Perhaps I'm boring but I think a name should do what it says on the tin and obviously help future Big Finish fans to find us and come here in the future. In that respect I would like Big Finish to be part of the name... preferably in a language that isn't dead! Although I did do Latin at school I completely agree with Jason's sentiments.
Agreeing with the Admin, my problem with the Divergent Universe is thanks to Veronica Roth it's not the only Divergent Universe. As Tony mentioned we might be looking at possible web addresses in the future... This could have the biggest availability issues!
Is there an argument that the name shouldn't be too Doctor Who centric? I know a majority of posters on the old forum were Who fans but there were plenty of posters on the old forum who were principally fans of non-who ranges. I would just like a name that's as clear and as inclusive as possible.

Whilst my preference is still for "Blue Forgotten Planet", I agree the name shouldn't come across as too closely Who, it should be more BF.

I wonder that the artwork might look like for some of these names!
I agree with the 'less who-centric' point
