Uh oh!

Since Daniel mentioned he's open to a rename eventually (and that plenty of iconic projects started with a placeholder/joke name), figured I'd throw out an actual suggestion with some reasoning behind it, rather than just a random word.
I looked at how some well-known databases got their names, and Redis kinda caught my attention:
Redis = "REmote DIctionary Server" - an acronym that also happens to read as a normal word
Following that pattern, I landed on:
LikvaDB = LIghtweight Key-VAlue database
It reads as a real(ish) word, it's short, and the acronym is a one-line description of what the project actually is.
Not attached to it; just wanted to suggest something with actual reasoning behind it rather than "what about X". Curious what others think, and happy to hear alternatives.
Separately, once this project settles on a name, I'd be happy to help put together a logo too, whenever that's relevant.
