Program naming conventions?

I am wrapping up a little utility to pretty-print LDraw code (as a supplement to
some things LDDP can do and as a stand-alone tool for other platforms). My
working name for it is LDTrim, but I am curious if anyone has better
suggestions.

In particular, as I was looking at LDView's change history I saw that it had
originally been named L3DView but was renamed to avoid confusion with L3P. Is it
similarly confusing to use the same LD ("LDraw") prefix for other programs?

Thanks,
Jim

(...) Hi Jim, I think it is tradition to name things with LD (LDView, LDLite). I didn't figure this out until after I named LPub and LSynth. Kevin (17 years ago, 6-May-08, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) If there is no other tool with that name - take it. But if your tool is for printing code I would suggest also the letter print in the name like LDPrint or better LDCPrint (LDrawCodePrint). cu mikeheide (17 years ago, 6-May-08, to lugnet.cad.dev)
