whats in a name?

I've been racking my brain recently for a name for the web ide. my first thought was w.i.d.e.
as in web ide, but thats already taken. then i thought about "collide" (collaborative ide) but al those domains are taken. Last night i was thinking along the lines of using a non word as the name of the app. i was flicking thru "boo hoo" the story of boo.com and read the bit where the swedish entrepeneurs ran an online book seller in sweden called "bokus" which is'nt a swedish word but is spelt nearly like the swedish word for book.
Following this tangent i thought of "coodaa" as the name for the app not quite sure whether i like it yet or not but it definitel has an advantage over all the other names i've thought of in that nearly all the domains are available for it (i guess thats the benefit of making up a word).
