ESB:Proposals/Rename the Wiki (Round 2 - Open Suggestions)

During the April 20, 2013 SpongeBob Universe meeting, there was discussion in regards to the name of the Wiki. While we have had the name "SpongeBob SquarePants Wiki" since our foundation just over 7 years ago, I brought out the idea of renaming and rebranding the wiki. This is just a discussion so far and nothing is set in stone. I am going to list all the ideas that have come about during those meetings. Please give your comments on each with a {{support}}, {{oppose}}, or {{neutral}} as to what you think is a good or not so good name for the Wiki. Feel free to also add your own ideas. We should keep in mind the goal of our wiki:

"The goal of this wiki is to create a central information database to everything SpongeBob SquarePants-related and to make this the most accurate and largest SpongeBob SquarePants information database. All are welcome to create and help us achieve our goal."

Discuss below! — AMK152 01:21, June 26, 2013 (UTC)

Discussion

SpongeBob Knowledge Base

Suggested by AMK152 as a working name.

• Neutral - - it's a fairly good name, and explains what this wiki is about. However, I believe this name doesn't have that "awesomeness" factor. — AMK152
• Neutral - - 120d, June 26,2013 4:54 (UTC)
• Oppose - a little dull, but a great start though. --Spongebob456 ^talk 11:59, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
• Neutral - Sounds cool but doesn't have that vibe...ZeoSpark  Talk  Contribs  Edits  12:35,6/26/2013 

SpongeBob SquarePants Knowledge Headquarters

Origin unknown

• Oppose - - like SpongeBob Knowledge Base, but I believe this is too long of a name. — AMK152 01:32, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
• Oppose - - 120d, June 26,2013 4:56 (UTC)
• Oppose - A little long. --Spongebob456 ^talk 11:59, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
• Oppose - Yep. Pretty long there. ZeoSpark  Talk  Contribs  Edits  12:35,6/26/2013 

SpongeBase

Suggested by Dylan at an early SBU meeting.

• Oppose - - 120d, June 26,2013 4:56 (UTC)
• Support - -  AW10  Talk  Contribs  E-Mail  11:09,6/26/2013 
• Oppose - SpongeBase seems very general and doesn't depict a wiki. In some way, it is similar to SpongeBob Universe because of the generality. --Spongebob456 ^talk 11:59, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
• Oppose - It's simple but a little too simple. ZeoSpark  Talk  Contribs  Edits  12:35,6/26/2013 

SpongeBase Galaxy

Suggested by HisteriaFan17 in November 2012.

• Support - - I am very much open to anything that gives that "part of SpongeBob Universe" kind of thing. This does have an awesome factor. — AMK152 01:32, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
• Neutral - - Sounds like some sort of weird spin-off wiki where SpongeBob has adventures in space. --IHeartSpongeBob (talk) 02:02, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
• Oppose - - 120d, June 26,2013 4:56 (UTC)
• Neutral - not bad. --Spongebob456 ^talk 11:59, June 26, 2013 (UTC)

SpongeBob Database

Suggested by Classic at SBU meeting.

• Oppose - - although this name really does describe the wiki, the name is rather boring. — AMK152 01:32, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
