Back in the BeOS days, almost every app was named Be-something. Some of those are still around: BePDF, BeShare …
KDE apps are often (not always) k-Something. GTK apps try to start their names with a g. And so on.
Not every application needs to be branded like that, of course. I’ll be the first to protest against a hard-and-fast rule. Still, it does give some brand recognition to apps specifically written for Haiku. We could just stick an h in front of our appnames. Liike hdialog. But that is too serious. The old Be-names were playful, they were fun. So, having time to waste on a Saturday afternoon, I came up with this list of puns replacing “high” with “Hai”. This works in English only: please feel free to suggest equivalents from other languages.
The “ku” part of Haiku doesn’t really work in English, but our Dutch-speaking colleagues may want to play around with “koe”
