@MoultIfcProject would be some cringe corporate productivity tool, however IfcElement has a good sound (though maybe tricky for some east Asian speakers?) suggests solidity, simplicity and centrality. Domain appears to be available.

Suggestion: nativeifc.org
IFCStudio is OK too, but I like the key idea of using the notion of Native IFC
I back this,
Native Ifc Addon & nativeifc.org
This is what distinguishes BlenderBim (and freecad haha) from everything else
When I teach Blenderbim locally I use the term Native Ifc so so much
I prefer Native IFC. @Moult
Using IfcNative makes is sound like a class of the schema.
Especially with the Pascal Case style capitalisation. Native IFC reads more as natural language
I don't think "native ifc" is good for the same reason I don't like BIM or even ifc names: as per dlthe discussion, it's everything but future proof. We are all excited about the native ifc bim idea, but as my colleague boldly said two days ago, in the near future we are going to see native ifc everywhere.
I now really believe we should aim at being more than native ifc bim suite, I don't think anyone cares what technology started Blender or Ladybug or Grasshopper with - it's the tools that define the meaning of these names now, not the other way around.
Staying by the B animals, I like
Barnacle: sounds cool, loves communities and builds houses
Badger: not large like a bear, not fancy like a tiger, but fierce, tough and persistent

Huh...In this case...something related to a Rabbit could also be applied as I love the Rabbit that we are using. Names like...
BristleBIM
BunnyBIM
BinkyBIM
BurrowBIM
and we can still call it BBIM .... :D
Hello Awesome Ones,
I'd like to join in on the fun... I have few that may be worthy of review. I've been a long time CAD user in the SF Bay Area and see that there are quite a few great suggestions out here. I feel that this amazing software you have all contributed to, cannot be confined by name to just Ifc formatting. This tool needs to stand alone as a versatile solution for the Industry. Here are my suggestions: CADtastic (Fantastic Computer Aided Design) UltiBIM (Ultimate Building Information Modeler) BLENDEDBIM (Minimal Change - Stays close to source data)
Cheers,
David A.
Well, i agree with what @JanF said, also if we want to become a more indipendent product in the future, having a name without IFC and native is a good idea. Think about Blender, Grasshopper, Godot, Ladybug, etc... (also maybe Revit?).
On the other hand, i don't like too much "Sverchock" name, mainly because it is too much complex, but it's only my opinion...
So i propose Bonsai or BonsaiBIM because:
it is a nice and simple word
you can keep the green and yellow color scheme, it has a nice association with this name
you can keep the actual B logo in BlenderBIM
it has a lot of positive meanings about balance, consistency, etc... in zen culture
it is the same word in different languages (at least italian and english :-) ) like IFC aims to be the common language in AEC
If the technology cannot be stable enough or limit our ambition, how about dropping IFC for a name that refers to collective building? Like Warren (system of rabbit burrows), or Hive, Ant Hill, or similar? My proposal would be Coral. It has a strong ecological significance in a warming world and also sounds like choral (collective singing).
I'm throwing in my vote for both Coral and Bonsai. We can't get the domain names, but it could be something like ifccoral.org or ifcbonsai.org and we'd still refer to it casually as Coral/Bonsai.

Actually I think it's not such a great idea. BIM is now in favour, but at the same time CAD was in favour in the past. We're still doing CAD, but we're also doing more than CAD. In the future, we'll still be doing BIM, but we could be doing more than BIM. The "Twin" (i.e. live sensor feedback, as-built verified, multimodal blah blah blah) buzzword is growing, and who knows in the future?
Maybe it's because my wife likes it, but the name "IfcLab" is starting to grow on me. Everything in the IfcOpenShell umbrella has the "Ifc" prefix only, no "Open" in there. The reason I liked "Open" in IfcOpenStudio or IfcOpenSuite was because it shared the same acronym IOS and could be seen as the duality of dev<->user as a FOSS strength. But it is a mouthful and suite is a tricky speller [ "hey, check out ifcopensuite.org, that's s-u-i-t-e" ] :) IfcLab is short, unique (no known association at least to me to other players, not like studio/openstudio forge/adsk forge suite/creative suite), easy to spell... :)
As I already explained this earlie, I second it. I feel the tool will be positioned much better for the openBIM future that is emerging in AEC by claiming to be THE tool - the NATIVE IFC TOOL.
IfcLab starts to grow on me too - it's short easy to say, not claimed yet.
If still want to stick to Studio - IfcNativeStudio could do, but too long.
I update my choice to IfcLab. Let's go!
What you think about these guys?
IFCX (eXtended IFC)
IFCOS (Open System)
Nativa (Highlighting the native integration with openBIM)
OpenCore (Core foundation for openBIM workflows)
NativX (Native, next-gen BIM tool)
NatIFC (Native IFC-focused solution)
Bonsai? I never thought that this Japanese word was used in the world. It seems to be a retro culture, but BIM seems to be a modern technology, is that good?
BIM should be used in the long life cycle of a building. It should be nurtured for decades, maybe there is something that goes with Bonsai.
@KoArabonsai is a familiar word in a European/north American context. It doesn't have any retro meaning. It would represent compact beauty, and nurturing over a long period of time. Would the name be a problem in Japan?
Just so we don't split our votes, I am calling on everyone who had voted for any thing Rabbit or Animal related to consolidate your votes under Rabbit... As for the idea of Revit and Rabbit being close I would say the only thing they have in common is "it", Revizto the BIM collaboration app has a closer name to Revit than "Rabbit". I mean If we are going Abstract or non descriptive name why not go with something had has a origin story, in my opinion, in almost everything, the best story always wins. I mean all you need to do is flip the Logo sideways and your have bunny ears. So calling on all animal votes to switch to Rabbit if no one has an objection, In the end I still trust the community to make the best decision.
Also is Coraldraw not still a thing? https://www.coreldraw.com/en/

Just to follow up, I am up for an amalgamated name like BIMRabbit RabbitIFC IFCRabbit - my Favorite
Hope that helps
Edited - for some reason I said Bunny rather than Rabbit in the previous version of this post
I do like IFCLab.
It is short.
I think having IFC in the name is fine. IFC is forseably at the core of the project.
I am not keen on any rabbit-related names. I can't see where that comes from or why it is relevant.
Comments
what about ozBIM, afterall it did come from down under didn't it?
@Moult IfcProject would be some cringe corporate productivity tool, however IfcElement has a good sound (though maybe tricky for some east Asian speakers?) suggests solidity, simplicity and centrality. Domain appears to be available.
or is it AECelements
Suggestion: nativeifc.org
IFCStudio is OK too, but I like the key idea of using the notion of Native IFC
BIM bimaddon.org or BunnyBIM
SimpleBIMple
How about Babbit a play on Bunny rabbit
I back this,
Native Ifc Addon & nativeifc.org
This is what distinguishes BlenderBim (and freecad haha) from everything else
When I teach Blenderbim locally I use the term Native Ifc so so much
@Ace what do you think about flipping the word to be IfcNative, so that it retains the prefix convention?
I prefer Native IFC. @Moult
Using IfcNative makes is sound like a class of the schema.
Especially with the Pascal Case style capitalisation.
Native IFC reads more as natural language
IfcDesignStudio
NativeStudio
NativeDesign
I think IfcNative is good SEO and all that and it lines up with the prefix!
I prefer just NativeIfc but only by a bit, I'm not fussed either way

Hello, I propose:
BBIMM
(By_the_community Building Information Modelling Manager)
or
(By_the_community BIM Manager)
Pros:
I I tried creating a simple logo using the current Blender bim symbol (let me know if it causes confusion and I'll remove it).
I'll throw my vote behind Coral or Bonsai both totally unique names.
