I agree with Achaziel, Acknex8 does sound much better than either poll names...

Acknex might sound ok for Germans or Scandinavians but I think it sounds very hard and strange for the rest of the world. Just think about other languages like Spanish, Italian, English and so on. They dont use such hard sounding words with k or ck in the middle. I think this even sounds not good in German, it sounds like a skin disease (Akne in German, acne in English).

officially it already is called gamestudio without 3d. look around on the homepage. i guess they just couldn't get the com domain without 3d. it's the same with unity. it also is called unity without 3d. having 3d in the name has become very uncool. i agree with frank. acknex is a really ugly name. maybe they should just call it a8 engine or something like that (but isn't there a car with that name?).
