Oh, chameleon; I didn't realize that was what the name was based on. I thought it was a strange name, which happened to make me think of melons.

My point exactly!

I think the thing with all these wacky names is that they are geared to a US accent, or at least an understanding of the rules. Apache Solr, for instance, is just 'Soller' to me (at a push), and never 'Solar' -- probably works on the postvocalic 'r' those hick statesians use...

I guess I'm used to shortened words from years of 8-character file names. I happily fill in vowels and search for appropriate words.
