Whats in the Name?

For some this name sounds a bit negative, and there is definitely something quite negative about it.  It came to my mind originally as a challenge, as a call to action, and my reason for wanting to retain this name is one of ongoing motivation,  I want and need a constant reminder of the goal that is before me, I need a clear compelling vision that will enable me to say "no" to all sorts of other good and worthwhile opportunities, so that I may make a difference where it really counts.

 

There are already a couple of articles on this site which explain the rationale behind our choice to focus exclusively on five unreached people groups of North Africa.  See here "Why focus on the Forgotten Five?", "Map of the FFV peoples" and "Introduction to Forgotten Five Media."  In this article we need to ask the question "do we need to change our name?"

Should we retain the "five" in the name, this may be problematic in the future, what if we decide we need to do projects in a sixth language or find out that someone else is doing so much in one of our chosen five that we feel we should concentrate exclusively on the other four languages?  Here are some possibilities which retain the five : The Favored Five, Fivefold Media, Focussing on Five Media, Five Focus Media.  Our focus is on North African Berber languages, should our name reflect this more clearly?  A key word could be the Berber word "Amazigh", or "Imazigh" (free man): Amazigh Media (this name would probably be seen as presumptious by the Berbers themselves), or names which evoke "imagine" or "amazing" Amazighin Media, Amazigin Media, Imazigine Media.  For the moment we are sticking with FfvMedia and the phrase "Forgotten Five."
