BlackArrow brings about the association with a famous work by R. L. Stevenson, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_ ... _Two_Roses

Here is some of my ideas.

If you want to stay with the FIRE idea :
- Incinerator
- Calcinator

If you want to relate to the 4 elements (and the original name FireBird) :
- EarthBird
- WaterBird
- AirBird

or of you want to be "over" this :
-AetherBird
-Aether

If you want to think about the original name FireBird and the Russian origins :
- жар-птица ( jar-ptitsa : firebird in russian)

Arbalest (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbalest)

Or maybe something inspired by this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Firebi ... s_Vasilisa
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narodnye_russkie_skazki

Inferno

This is probably the best so far, IMO.

Inferno can't be used ...

Because of the same problem as Firebird became Fire...
Inferno is a "trade mark".

I am currently rewriting Firenzina's search, eval, and almost everything, pretty much, to the point where I no longer consider it a derivative of Fire (if it is, then DiscoCheck is a blatant clone of Umko).

So - we need a new name, and me and Dmitri can't think of any good ones. (Crossbow is our current best, which isn't great)

Anyone have any ideas???

how about chesgek...

Inferno sounds a bit like "inferior".

Arbalest is nice, along the Crossbow line.

From a different area, how about Cromwell? (Much better than Protector, I dare say.)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Cromwell

Not sure about arbalest, it's definitely better than crossbow, though.

Cromwell is trademarked.
