umm - "Big Blu"?



Well, "Big BLU" is a play on "Big Blue, " and not the IBM super computer,
but just south of Boston are the Blue Hills, the "Great Blue Hill" called
"Big Blue."

Trivia:
WGBH call lettes mean Great Blue Hill[s]
While they are currently green, thge blue hills were once covered with
wild blueberries.

a little bit if we call it "Big Blu"?  I like the name, but
will it seem a little pretentious ?

This cluster will be minuscule compared to lots of the clusters
out there, like the real "Big Blue".

Perhaps a name that doesn't imply a large size might be better.

"Blu Clu"  (BLu Cluster), pronounced "blue clue"

Hmm - "Big BLU" seems more fun.


oh well, random thought.
