I like Healix much more than Helix. For a non-scientist like me, helix doesn't automatically invoke a double helix. Neither does Healix but Healix nods to the important health aspect of longevity. If double helix isn't the first thought with Helix, one might pronounce it hell-x. A gang of immortal bikers might like that. Not me.

My first reaction to aorist was someone who plays the aorta, which might make more sense if you're in my head*.

* If you are in my head, please stop talking.

I guess that we want a name that is available in both .org and .com

HEALES are at http://www.heales.org because the http://www.heales.com is already a website for medical services.

http://healix.com is already a website for medical services
http://heallix.com is already a website for supplements with non-scientific advertzing
http://www.healthix.com is already a website to gain/maintain health at home
http://helifex.com is already a consultant website
http://healex.com is already a website for education& govmt services
phelix.org (p for perpetual) is to sell but at an unknown cost (10$? 100$? more?)

aoHelix is available - quite convoluted name to my ears.
coHelix was available - we bought it and started to develop it: http://www.cohelix.com/
Try it!

Cohelix is still in the running. Helix.com or something similar to that wouldnt work because it needs to indicate an indefinite extension.


As to helix sounding to much like a hell-ish biker gang, Ide have to disagree. You could be right but I dont see it, does anybody else? Thanks for your input though, you have inspired this name to move along.


Heres what Ive been thinking about this lately. We have been looking for a name that is 3 syllables or less. We want to try to find a name that we can add our own meaning to and brand like Monster.com and Amazon.com have done, like people have suggested. We think we can do all that and have it be an acronym. So we have been working with versions of an acronym of sorts for “Healthy Life Extension” or “HELIX” but we need to add an adjective to it that further describes that this is for indefinity. Inhelix and aohelix have come close but we are still looking. Somebody suggested recently that we add to “in”, with something such as “Radical Indefinite Healthy Life Extension” or “RainHelix”. Its still 3 syllables which is great, and it’s a word we can brand. Im not sure if that’s quite there yet either though. What do you think? “Radical” may not be the way to go, although it might. Can you think of any other good workable versions? Like maybe, “CoinHelix”, for Cooperative Indefinite Healthy Life Extension, or something like that. I think the right name is there waiting to be found, and I think we’re on the right trail. If you want to help us toss these ideas around then please do. Completely different name suggestions are still welcome for consideration also.

My handle here, "BrokenPortal" was created as a representation of the cause and could be a name for this. We want to be sure to keep it to under 4 syllables though. So somebody suggested, "thePortal". It would go great with a theme of looking through a portal into the cause, to sort of represent that once this closes up, its all over, so we should work to keep it open. I would rather find a more colorful name though. What do you all think? Besides the ones that have been discussed alot, what do you think of the new twists, the new contenders? They are cohelix, thePortal, RainHelix, or CoinHelix, or any workable addition to "in" that makes it a one syllable word.

Ive been searching and working with these versions of one syllable words that end in "in". We want to stay away from the word radical if we can. I think we are going with "Requisite" instead of radical. So the name now in the front running is ReinHelix for "Requisite Indefinite Healthy Life Extension".

ReinHelix is now the name. It fits the bill.

Its 3 syllables or less.
Its brandable but not bland and forgetable.
Its an acronym of sorts.
being an acronym of sorts it makes it kind of remarkable.
It doubles as its own tag line.

It stands for Research for Indefinite Healthy Life Extension
