Maybe "Simplicated"?

I like UD's definition of "simplicated" http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=simplicated - Something that is simple and complicated at the same time.

(Sorry to comment so much. I just happen to be awake before 8a on a Saturday.) Themes exists using "smpl", "Simplification". There is a theme company that goes by Simple themes. Simplicated.com exists as does simplicate.com. Perhaps further looking/discussion is needed.

Ha, no worries — I'm in the UK, so it's afternoon already here ;)

Perhaps it's a good chance to look at the URLs Grant registered and see if we can just create a naming pattern based on one of them? Something that's unique, and can be used consistently across multiple themes (for different CMSs).

I like that idea and was leaning towards that as well.

I’ve registered the cleanthem.es and cleanlin.es domains (at an bargain price of $8USD through Gandi I might add.) The cleanthemes.com and cleanlines.com domains are both squatted right now, otherwise I would pick those up just in case the Spanish officials get all sticky about a bunch of North Americans snarfing their domains.

What if we worked on a convention that used “cleantheme” or “cleanline” as a prefix? You could build out a series of components such as:

Cleantheme Wordpress
Cleantheme Tumblr
Cleantheme EE
… &c.

I'm down. As far as I can tell there isn't a theme called Cleanlines for WordPress. It'd work for Tumblr and EE as well.

There is a CleanLines theme for Magento - http://www.magthemes.com/premium-themes/cleanlines-magento-theme.html

I had a brilliant idea today (if I do say so myself) — the "Tabula Rasa" family of themes.

I'm a fan of Latin names, and it's quite fitting for this type of project, I think. Doing some URL searches now, as well as due diligence on existing themes just in case.

Heh. As am I. One of my themes is called Effercio (stuff). Another was called Magister, as it was going to be geared towards teachers...

(I took 3 years of Latin in high school.)

(geek).

(also: awesome).

Some Ideas:

• Elementum (Latin: Basic)
• Tersus (Clean)
• Agricola (I know there is a game called Agricola, but the simplicity of a farmer is somewhat appealing.)
• Curiosis (Careful, attentive, curious) - There is a theme called Curious...
• Diligens (Diligent, Careful)

nice list :) I'm picturing one theme name, with alternates for each CMS/system, e.g.

• Tabula Rasa for WordPress
• Tabula Rasa for Tumblr
• Tabula Rasa for Blogger

and so on.

No surprise, I’m a big fan of Latin as well.

‘Tabula Rasa’ really is a perfect fit … although I have to say that there’s a certain attraction to the tidiness (read: uncruftiness) of ‘Tersus’. Splitting out the specific CMS alternates, as in the above example,is exactly what I had envisioned.

I like them both. I think they both fit rather well. Whatever's decided I'll be happy with.

Should we flip a coin to dcide. Having slept on it, I'm leaning toward Tersus - simply because it's a bit shorter.

I’m officially tossing my coin into the “Tersus” bucket.

Dan, Any additional thoughts on the name?

I could easily stand behind tersus. Is there consensus in Dan?

While we're on the topic of Latin, lacunae is the word that comes to mind. Apologies for my absence — I should be more readily available, going forth.

Cheers,

Lacunae is nice.

On the positive side: ‘gap’ ‘opening’

And, perhaps, the negative: ‘void’ ‘cavity’ ‘defect’

I’m still liking Tersus — for the short ‘n’ sweet of it.

I'm down with Tersus — let's go with it.

Sorry I was out of touch for a few days. Had to travel home, deal with a missed flight, recover from said flight, etc. :)

Ah, in lacunae I was relaying my own absence. It sounds like Tersus is it.

No worries, Dan … such is the life of a man of international mystery.

Accio Tersus!
