As an example, "Ruby on Rails" feels nice. You actually can imagine a nice, big, red ruby going fast like a train =).
This sort of thing is very subjective, however. I always found the name "Ruby on Rails" highly amusing, as "rails" is slang for a particular illegal recreational alkaloid...
That's why I advocate for a Call for Names. I don't think we should change "Yesod" just for the sake of having an easier to remember name. Any replacement should be clear, nice, give a warm, fuzzy feeling, etc.
I think the most important feature of a name is that it uniquely identifies the thing it is naming. In some cases, a name can easily *describe* the thing it is naming as well, which is also important; but for bigger libraries and frameworks, this just isn't possible. -- mithrandi, i Ainil en-Balandor, a faer Ambar
