Thank you for the name Po!

I had a dream last night of this swirly thing. When I woke, I opened PS and made it...then things progressed into this. Just a mock up so far.

Here's one: Hephaestos. I picked this name because it relates to fire and the forge but would be completely unique to windowblinds
Yup, it'd certainly be original to WB's, wouldn't it.
Here's a bit of info I copy and pasted from http://www.luxotica.com/education/firegoddess.php ......
Hephaestus (also Hêphaistos or Hephaestos) is the god of fire and the forge, and the patron god of blacksmiths, craftsmen, artisans, and sculptors. He was known as Vulcan in the Roman pantheon.

How about "Nightlife" Can include dreaming or a fine evening out including fine cuisine and dancing. Just a suggestion. 
her's a couple more
Aengus
In Irish mythology, Óengus (Old Irish), Áengus (Middle Irish), Aengus or Aonghus (Modern Irish) is a member of the Tuatha Dé Danann and probably a god of love, youth and poetic inspiration. He was said to have four birds symbolizing kisses flying about his head (whence, it is believed, the xxxx's symbolizing kisses at the end of lovers' letters come from).

Oneiros
Morpheus is the oldest of triplets known as the Oneiroi, along with Icelus and Phantasos. For this reason, he is also referred to as Oneiros

With all the mythology floating about why not start a project based on mythology and let Xiandi's new WB lead the way.

Thank you everybody for all the great name suggestions! 
All of you are just awesome!
Some of the names I may use later on other blinds because they made some images come to mind.

You're right. I put in the start menu, and changed the font.
Looks good! Like the name!

Excellent start Xiandi, I'm looking forward to watching this theme develop.

Garnet Storm is alright.... I suppose. But I still think 'Fred Flintstone's Forge' is better. 
Must admit, that start panel looks mighty fine. I just hope the start button is more along the lines of the squirly thing... cos I'm not too fond of that blue one in the SS.

I can't duplicate the swirly thing. This is what I was thinking you could do for the wallpaper or something like it.
I have a few (8) versions...changing textures and stuff.

I'm with starkers on that one. The start button you have is played out. Used too many times already. The swirly thingy would make a much better one in keeping with the theme.
Those walls are pretty awesome Po.

I have so much crap saved. This reminds me of a WB I started (the 200th I think)

If I know Lady X, that "Start Button" is only there because she hasn't finished designing a killer button.
Nice walls, Po'.

I wasn't referring to the movie. I was referring to the deity. The name alone I think has beauty to it but ultimately it is whatever Lady X wants. Here's another. Titan's Dream.
