Or to be more generic about it:
pu - Package Updater.
pum - Package Updater, Modified.
puma - Package Updater, Modified Again.
poma - Package Opener (Operator?), Modified Again
That last one is tounge-in-cheek :-J
puma ! Similar to orig name (continuity), "p" for package
(better than yellow-dog), and humorous extension "a" that
turns it into a word with logo possibilities.
And shouldn't have brand overlap with the shoes (they're
going with the animal association anyway).
You could get some some traction with that name.
