I haven't read up on the trademark laws. Also on topic, I vote for Kvass. Well really I'd prefer something else yet again. If infinity wasn't a trademark issue then I'd go for that. I like the idea of the 8 on its side as suggested by Valent. If we look at Apple we find Cheetah, Puma, Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, Leopard. All powerful creatures. Granted a werewolf would beat a tiger or a leopard any day. But it doesn't have that same sense of noble strength. Too cartoonish or sci-fi for me. To some a name is just a name. But just like location, location, location is important I believe that a name is important in marketing (otherwise why would companies conduct market research to come up with a name for their product much like Fedora is doing now). Imagine buying an ab exerciser called FlabRoller vs one called AbRoller. Choosing the right name is important. Werewolf doesn't quite do it for me. So by process of elimination (least undesirable of the two) I vote for Kvass. Jacques B.
