Board Name- Part 2

[<~Missy~>]

Haylo!

Im gonna have to go with "Cloud Nine" thats so pretty. And you dont want Fyre's Coffeehouse cause' that sounds wayyy too much like Moon Cafe. See?

[Ragebøx]

I voted for Solar Prominence. I suppose my reasons are due to the fact that it has a slightly poetic or mystifying sound to it. Being, I suppose, a poetic person, I seem to be drawn to it moreso than the rest. It has a nice ring to it as well, and it seems to stand out as a powerful, expressive title for the boards.

[Semi-Charmed.Life]

I voted for Solar Prominence because I thought of it and also because I like the way it sounds.

^^^^ Same here!

Cloud nine from Dante?!? Really? We don't use it in Italy, and WE know Dante quite well. Dante never used the term Cloud Nine!!!

Here's what I found about the history "Cloud Nine."

CLOUD NINE

From Ernie Epp: "What is the origin of the expression cloud nine for a very happy person?"

The phrase to be on cloud nine, meaning that one was blissfully happy, started life in the United States and has been widely known there since the 1950s; it's since spread worldwide. It's said to have been popularised by the Johnny Dollar radio show of that period, in which every time the hero was knocked unconscious he was transported to Cloud Nine. But that wasn't the origin of the phrase. It's been around since the 1930s, though early examples show a lot of numerical variability, with the cloud sometimes being as low as number seven or eight or as high as thirty-nine, though seven and nine were most common.
These discrepancies make me suspect the usual explanation of its origin, which is that it comes from the US Weather Bureau. The story is that this organisation describes (or once described) clouds by an arithmetic sequence. Level Nine was the very highest cumulonimbus, which can reach 30,000 or 40,000 feet and appear as glorious white mountains in the sky. So if you were on cloud nine you were at the very peak of existence.

The term has always had close associations with the euphoria that is induced by certain chemicals - alcohol in its earlier days but more recently crack cocaine - so perhaps we shouldn't ask for too great a level of exactness in counting. And the cloud here is an obvious reference to some drug-induced dreamy floating sensation. But I suspect, without having anything so restricting as evidence, that seven was chosen because it's a traditional lucky number and that today's more usual nine appears for similar reasons - for example it also turns up in dressed to the nines and the whole nine yards.

I voted for fyreside chat, because I liked that name, but I liked a lot of the others to like Cloud Nine and the Sun Room

[Ich Liebe Rammstein]

Oh Lord.

You could add Hell House,since this is what this is most likly going to turn into. No offense.

Well,if you would like to know that i did indeed voted for a name I can't even spell. Hold on. Solar P_____. And like Rachel4000 says it has some what of a pooetic sound to it. And sounds much mature in my opionin.

[.Hunting:High:and:Low.]

^^ Whoa. "Hell House"? From my perspective, everything's been going fine on the boards, Linken. It's been a lot better since Fyre's gotten this place fixed up.

[Ich Liebe Rammstein]

I guess. Not that it will matter when the time ends. Then there is nothing and you have nothing to hope for and your life's a dream..In other words:: htaed..so yeah. but ok. Fyre is doing a great job no one has died yet except my soul,so ok.

[Soleluna]

Thanks for the history of cloud nine, petty. It sounds more true than the name coming from dante....
But now, let's continue with on topic discussions.
I'll have to vote for cloud nine too, but I am still not sure... I'll put my vote at the end.

[Soleluna]

I voted for solar prominence... it sounds classy

[:: Natalie ::]

<<Its strange how this thread has been viewed 90 times but there are only 17 votes. You people should vote! >>

That's a good point. In some ways, very true.
But then again, a lot of the views could come from people like me who have already voted and are checking back to see the results. Just a thought. But I think there'd be more people who would vote about this, because it's a pretty important thing.

[xoShimmerChickxo]

I voted for *Cloud Nine* It has an uplifting name to it.

[BlissfulGnome]

^^I agree I also voted for Cloud Nine.
