I was thinking what you are providing is like an artist's palette of schematic elements. Different artists combine different colors in their own style, creating unique works. Papilio and Palette both begin with a "pa" sound so Papilio Palette HDP -> Hardware Description Palette The way you described the software, those two names miss the whole debugging interface aspect. More like a workshop for hardware creators, perhaps a studio? Papilio Logic Studio Hardware Construction Studio Hardware Schematic Studio "Schematic Conductor" was another one. Conductor like the leader of a band directing the individual players (schematic elements) to play the music (signals) correctly, making corrections as necessary and listening for misbehaving players (JTAG debugging). Or just an electric schematic that acts as an electrical conductor.
