Naming Soy Statistics

Though I realize that literally nobody is reading this at the moment, I thought I'd put this out there - I need to come up with a better/different name for Soy Statistics.

It's called Soy Statistics simply because the site is soycode.com, which itself was chosen because it's mildly catchy and was available. It is thankfully the only real result for "soy code", but unfortunately "soy statistics" is not this lucky (it's currently on the second page, result #11).

Even if I didn't rename it I wouldn't be surprised if it moved up in rankings and maybe eventually was first, but nonetheless it's silly and potentially legally contentious to pick a name that conflicts with some soybean farming journal thing (apparently the U.S. exported $12.9 billion in soybeans in 2007, $4.1 billion of which were purchased by China).

Anyway, I'm not really sure what else to call it at the moment. If you, the hypothetical reader, have a suggestion, please feel free to speak up. I'll keep developing it under this name for convenience and because it doesn't really matter at this stage, but if I want to do anything "real" with it I'll probably need to figure something else out.
