Having something “google-able” is needed yes.

I like the idea arround the Roc/Rokh/Rukh name (eveyone is good, and allow us to make a logo with a bird (think about amarok or firefox…). I prefer Rokh because it already has less results on Google, and allow some marketing like “Rokh Rocks”

impressive work !
About the name… pick something “google-able” (taking this in account, ivory or arena are not very good names :\ )

What about rokh (persian origin of the word “rook” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rook_(chess) )

It’s also the name of a mythical bird
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roc_%28mythology%29 )

And it contains a “k” !

“Arena”, a synonym for “Battleground”.

@Riccardo: Ivory had actually been proposed by me I like it, but thinking about it, it can be offensive for people who are sensitive to animal rights (ivory is obtained by the tusks of elephants).
@Gonzalo: ahah, iGame is very nice, but it sounds too much like an Apple product.

I was rather thinking of something more abstract, probably not related to the word “game”.
Well… I’m not that good at judging names, I guess I’ll wait for a proposal that will get a general consensus

or How about iGame?

I jest, I jest. Well sort of.

It isn’t taken and there does not appear to be a trademark related to board games.

Jogox

Which is a made-up name combined of the word for game in Portuguese with an X appended to the end.
