I'm making a terminal based text editor in C. I've already figured out how to do a lot of the stuff I need, such as read lines into a buffer, create a linked list, move around the file, back up files, etc. The beta and version 1.x are going to be just a bare-bones line editor, no regular expressions or substitutions or anything like that. In version 2.x I plan to add some of the aforementioned features and make it more like ed. I'm going to call it bined, which is a recursive algorithm for Bined Is Not ED. I plan to make bined 3.x a full screen editor, and then eventually make a GUI version that will run in the X Window interface.

My question is what should I call version beta and 1.x? I'm torn between two names: ned, for Naked EDitor, and cred, for CRappy EDitor. Which one sounds better for a text editor like the one I just described?

BBed

But there's already a text editor called BBEdit.

The good names are probably all claimed.
