Help Me Pick a Hosting Company Name

Administrator, Veteran
I'm trying to pick a name for a hosting company (shared, not LEB :-)
Here's the deal...I put together a quick 1-question survey to ask for advice. I pledge to give $30 to the charity that gets the most votes if I get at least 100 survey responses. If you want, you can include an email address and I'll mail proof of the donation.

Pretty buggy huh?
I can't choose more than one host to be "No Strong Opinion"

Aw, crap, I guess you're right @klikli.
It's fixed now.
I voted as well!

Great. Up to 37 responses (I've posted in a couple other places). At this rate, I'll be making a donation tomorrow :-)
Thanks to all who voted.

Results
I'm still pondering. A few choices were clearly very negative and confirmed some of my thinking. One of my favorites also was viewed negatively by most, so I'm glad I got some results. One was very polarizing, most had a spread. Got some good comments and need to think them all through.
It is amazing to make how many ${noun}host.com names are taken - things I can't imagine anyone using. Who would signup for service with slowhost.com? :-)

I did enjoy the few incredibly insightful comments about various ethnic backgrounds and sexual orientations. Because, you know, it's so hard to delete those with a single click...
I actually am neither gay nor black, nor was I pleasuring myself while creating the survey, nor do I love my mother in any unnatural way. But thanks for asking.
And As Promised...
Nearly at 100 responses - close enough. The Make-a-Wish foundation was the biggest vote getter:

Those of you who asked to be notified by mail will be notified probably tomorrow.
Again, thanks to all.

Voted. Glad I chose Make-a-Wish foundation too, otherwise would have felt disheartened that my vote didn't count. LoL ;-)
And the winner is ...?
Can you post the survey results?
I'm quite curious.
Btw, voted.
I wasn't originally planning to share the survey results, but what the heck...enjoy:

I'm in a bit of quandry about the name, as discussed there. Any comments welcome.

I like it...but taken.
@raindog308 i don't know if you forgot one thing. we live in computing stuff, it means we live in binary digit world.. why you're not using "true" and "false" only for your survey? you may get better result..
I voted for LanternHost.com because I immediately thought of Green Lantern and how epic he was.
