Need a name for a comment system

I'll be releasing a PHP comment system soon, version 0.1. Basic features are: easy installation, replies, editing, basic accounts, allowed HTML tags, customize options, and easy theming. Before release I need a name for my comment system. If you could vote on a favorite and tell me if any are taken or used for something that implying a relation with would be bad, I'd greatly appreciate it :D

Allow me to explain the names:

FSCS = Free Software Comment System
myCS = My Comment System
phpCS = PHP Comment System
txtCS = Text Comment System
LibreCS = Libre Comment System (Libre = Free in latin)
FlossCS = Free/Libre Open Source Software Comment System
HashOver = Hash Over (a reference to TildeHash.com, which I run.)

[I feel this post didn't fit any of the other forum categories]

Hwo about DisQus CopyCat (DCC)? :p

Maybe following unix tradition by saying "Yet another commenting system" YACS - might already be in use though :)

Cheers,
Alex

Keep in mind when if you choose phpCS:

From PHP's License:
4. Products derived from this software may not be called "PHP", nor
may "PHP" appear in their name, without prior written permission
from group@php.net. You may indicate that your software works in
conjunction with PHP by saying "Foo for PHP" instead of calling
it "PHP Foo" or "phpfoo"

It doesn't mean you can't use it. It just mans you need to obtain written permission to use it.
