Actually Faanoos sounds cool :-)

My votes would be for (in order of preference),

 Akka 2.0
 Faanoos   (and not fanoos, read why below)
 BiCon     (or even HetroCon :-)
 beacon

I think it would be a good idea to find a unique name that does
not produce millions of hits in google at min :-)  This is the
last I will say about this topic and will leave it to those that
have worked and will work on the project to decide.
