NameSuggestions

 This page should serve to collect the various name suggestions.
+
+Please note that there are several aspects to the project name:
+ * The project name as used in the logo, website and when referring to the project in general.
+ * The name of the python package.
+ * The names of distributed files and the distutils/setuptools project name (as used for PyPI and Python eggs).
+
+Both package names and file names impose constraints on the set of potential candidates for a renaming: for example, neither support non-alphanumeric characters, or at least not in a portable manner.

-Yes, ''pySomething'' usually stands for the Python bindings for that ''Something''.
-In the context of Markup, it was more meant to be reminiscent of the `py:` prefix we use everywhere in our templates.
-So maybe... py:markup? Additionally, this goes well with the encapsulation in <...> illustrated in the logo.

+See the comment I added at the top of the page about constraints on the project name. I actually like `py:markup`, but don't see how that would work as a name.
