Working out some early naming options for a new branding project. Sometimes a simple typeface treatment can really help the client start to envision the possibilities of the new name.
Again, it's quite inspiring to see the level of organization and detail to put into your work. If I were hiring you for design work I would be very pleased. Great stuff as always.
Ah, yes that helps though! :) In that case, I'd say that Lynx is perhaps a bit close to Apple (Lion, Tiger, Snow Leopard). Harbour conveys "safe", which could be good for this application. I think of all the ones, though, I'd vote for Spry - it brings up "quick" and "light" - good images for something meant to be cool and efficient.
And if I was to call my new company Apple, I'm sure nobody would associate me with the tech giant, provided I made sure they knew I was referencing the fruit.
if it's holding and sharing data - its two key elements that work together. Expanding on 'together' gets me to 'relationship' a relationship of two things thats just works gets me to how they would 'click' that takes me to 'clix' or something like that. #justsaying

I think it's neat that you've included the name discovery in with how it translates to a brand

@Jennifer unfortunately I cannot say =) But the gist is it's cool software that holds and shares data efficiently.

I think Connor was referring to this horrific stuff: http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/ly/lynx-deodorant-bodyspray-africa-150ml.jpg
Cheap body spray is probably not the best thing for a new brand to connote.

@Alexander haha oh I see, shouldn't be an issue. We are using it in reference to the cat which has surely been around longer =)
