It took me a few days to understand colony enough that I could answer clarifying questions, it took even longer to ask useful questions about design details. By contrast it only takes a few seconds to come up with a different name. However before you state your name please sleep on it, and then ask if it is really better, or just different.

it doesn't have the double meaning
of an ant colony vs. a colony in a land far far away. Otherwise they
mean exactly the same thing.
