something else that has grown on me is STRIDE engine:
The word is short and easy to pronounce, the meaning is also quite fitting, i think:

I like this but it could cause confusion with FOCUS 9 accounting software.
I am just thinking that you like ancient greek and the bringing to life aspect of the name which I love but how about Poiesis
Poiesis - Wikipedia
In philosophy, poiesis (from Ancient Greek : ποίησις) is "the activity in which a person brings something into being that did not exist before.
I also would like to suggest ratio3d. The reason being is that ‘ratio’ is latin for dimension, the .com is unused and it also gives it a professional name to entice companies to use it for their digital twins / virtual world which will help expand the development community for everyones benefit.
Maybe even gain autodesk support like Unity or integration with the laserscanner / geospatial scanner manufacturers like FARO.
I really think this software has great legs and I am going to promote it within my Utility company ( i can’t mention a name without going through the PR team).
Otherwise Xenko is already amazing and do you need an NPO when you can promote within the Digital Twin scene and become a Standard Marque and change a business model to suite while also keeping it opensource.
@Eideren If it is not too late, I’d like to put a name up for submission.
Verity Engine
Verity
a true principle or belief, especially one of fundamental importance.
My three pennies -
Nexus
Means
- “a connection * or series of connections linking two or more things.”
- “a central or focal point.”
Pros
- Implies connectivity, compatibility
- Relates to Xenko’s modular / package format
- Contains an X
- Probably quite easily to stylise for a logo
- Sounds like Lexus
Cons
- Sounds a bit dystopia corporate. Skynet’s financial department
- Google Nexus
- Sounds like Texas
Domain
- nexus.* - taken
- nexusengine.* - all available though .com is premium
- nexus3d.com - 3d scanning company
-
nexus3d.org - available
Release
Means
- “allow or enable to escape from confinement; set free.”
- “allow (something) to move, act, or flow freely.”
Pros
- Positive connotations of freedom, relaxation, letting go of tension
- Relates to the completion and distribution of software, or artistic output ‘Radiohead’s latest vinyl release’
- Is non techy, accessible / unintimidating
- Nice visual motifs for logo inspiration (check Google Images)
Cons
- Is such a common word that it’d take a while to become synonymous with the engine. ‘Unity’ got there though
Domain
- release.com - taken, but could be obtainable at some point? Just has some football videos on it
- release.org - also taken but there’s nothing there…
- release.me - available (premium). A fun URL but possibly not appropriate
- releaseengine.com - taken - weird I thought this was available a few minutes ago
- releaseengine.org - available
- releaseengine.net - available
- release3d.* - available
Forward
Means
- “onward so as to make progress.”
- “relating to the future.”
Pros
- Focussed, with direction and intent
- Clear and accesible
- Has been stuck in my head for a week
- Non techy / accessible
- Good directions logo design
Cons
- Logo may end up looking like the Brexit Party’s…!
- Forward 3D is a marketing agency
Domain
- forward.* - gone, though forward.yoga is free…
- forwardengine.com - gone, reg is China, no site though
- forwardengine.(the rest) - available
- forward3d.com - gone (see above)
Hope you guys find a successful way to go forward.
lol that’s one of my suggestions 
Hello guys, I’m compiling the list right now, I won’t include any new suggestions sorry.
Okay, here’s how I think we’ll move forward:
Let the community vote on the names they submitted and pick the ten highest. Create an open discussion around those ten and include @mrboni 's suggestions into the mix. Let people argue on those names, provide logos and try to reach a consensus.
We’ll start the voting phase tomorrow (saturday) at 8:00 AM UTC.

This is my first post…so please don’t be too judgmental…thanks
I was thinking about the new name: simgen (simulation generator engine) what do you guys think? You could have a oval neon around name like an atom moving along the oval…
Or ZENGEN-2.0 …2.6…3.0…3.4 - like Blender uses
(Could have yeng-yang symbol in front of name)
