You done good. NEVER let brainstorming and bikeshedding for the perfect name delay you from writing code for one nanosecond. (Just do that in your free time while you're taking a walk or riding a bike or sleeping, and rename it later.)

If your idea isn't any good without the perfect name, then you idea isn't any good.

That being said, how about Canv-O-Matic? No?

Yup agreed, I’m guilty of spending arguably wayy too much time brainstorming the “perfect” name for projects in the past and figured that time is better spent in development making the product better, worst case scenario I could probably rebrand down the line.

Now that you mention Canv-O-Matic, it’d be pretty unique and I like how it implies an automatic canvas!

It's inspired by the epic Super Bass-O-Matic '76 (Bicentennial Edition):
