Ask HN: Fun side project - what should I name it?

#1
What should I name a service that archives weekly screenshots of startup homepages?

I've always wanted to study the process of how startups that launch with simple products iterate towards success. I'm sure others share my curiosity.

This is what my app would do: 1. Maintain a list of promising startups. 2. Take weekly screenshots of homepages for these startups. 3. Allow people to browse a gallery of screenshots for each startup that my service tracks.

This service shouldn't be too hard to code up. I've coded up similar services in the past. Nonetheless, I hate starting projects without first naming them.

So, wise readers of Hacker News, what do you think I should name my web app?

Thanks in advance.

Iteration Underway (iterationunderway.net is available)

I like the idea a lot. It would be interesting to see how startup homepages evolve over time. It would also be interesting, where possible, to see other pages. For web applications: screen shots of the application, for non-web based start ups: about page, faq, etc.
