in thread (OT) Best Name for Milkbone

AFAIK, Mercury, Quicksilver, and Element should be safe. Even though there are companies that use those names, they're just regular old English words. Milkbone differs in that it's a totally fabricated word. Good point about Quark. That's probably even worse than using Milkbone.
it says she can do math, but will she recognize 8 / 0?

We can only hope they've put in those safeguards.

Worst case scenario: She succeeds in dividing by zero, and suddenly little Tiphany-Amber's bedroom becomes the center of a howling vortex of nonspace, frying the neighborhood with sparkling discharges of zero-point energy.

    That has nothing to do with it. Especially considering that Mercury market collaboration and messaging solutions.

    Oracle is a plain English word. Good luck in trying to use it to name any computer application ;-) A registered trade mark is a registered trade mark. English word or not.

    If you're going to be making a commercial product go find a lawyer. If you're not, doing what Liz suggested and find something that doesn't come up with any google results would seem a sensible option.
