aL answers What should we call the Harvard EA office ?

[aL]

• -itas words (that aren’t as loaded as Utilitas), including

  • Gravitas

  • Vitalitas: vitality

  • Claritas: means brightness (the English derivative is clarity)

• Astronomy terms

  • Perihelion

  • Apogee

  • Astrolabe

• Mythology (add “House” or some other word to the end of these)

  • Daedalus: warned Icarus to not fly too close to the Sun

  • Cassandra: the cursed prophet (oof)

• Other nouns

  • Spire: looks sorta like a sorted heavy-tailed distribution. Also sounds like “aspire”

  • Cliffside: see above; also Precipice

  • Beacon or Lighthouse: guiding buildings. Also good because the office is near the top of the building.

• Some fun ones

  • Thinkcubator

  • The Margin at Harvard Square

  • Cambridge EA

  • Turing Testing Center

Daedalus would be great if it weren’t for the nearby restaurant. I like Beacon!
