Recently I posted a list of over 4000 SIGGRAPH technical papers titles. You can see some interesting patterns browsing this list. Since the very beginning of SIGGRAPH (see "Modelaide: a computer graphics program for the evaluation of mathematical models") there has been a long tradition of papers with titles beginning with a pet name for their algorithm or software. Like recently "MeshFlow: interactive visualization of mesh construction sequences". With my list its easy to suck out all the paper titles that begin with "SomeWord:" and look at the names people are using.
