The reason David chose the name "Roblox" is because it's a combination of the word "robot" and "blocks". This made sense because, not only was everything pretty much made of blocks, but the characters sort of looked and behaved like robots. And then you got the clones who just poorly attempt to imitate Roblox's name. The word that appears the most is the classic "brick" which is mainly used as a replacement of the word blocks. A ton of clones have this one in their name with a few notable examples being Brick Hill, Brick Planet, Brickadia, Brick Valley etc. The problem is that none of them are as creative as Roblox. You could at least replace the "ck" with an "x" just like Roblox did (brix). The name Brix Planet just doesn't sound good though... what if we mentioned the character's appearance? To me, personally, Brick Planet's characters resemble toy figures rather than robots. And with that you get a few combinations with those words: FigureBrix, BrixToy, ToyBrix, BrixFigures. How about we mention the "planet" as well? In that way, we get more combinations: NetBrix, FigureNet, PlanToy, ToyPlan etc. What do you guys think? Do you like these? Do you agree with my take? Or you think the name is good as it is?
