I quite like Voyager continuing Apollo’s space program theme.
Another option in tribute to Apollo is “Delphi”.
Delphi is the site of the Temple of Apollo and was an ancient sacred precinct and the seat of Pythia, the major oracle who was consulted about important decisions throughout the ancient classical world. The ancient Greeks considered the centre of the world to be in Delphi.
As well as the links to Apollo, Delphi’s history is of a community sanctuary and a central source of wisdom.
The term Delphi is more unique than Voyager so it will be more searchable and should be easier to secure a domain name.
Here are a few interesting quotes from the Delphi Temple of Apollo wiki:
I love Delphi, fitting name for whatever animal the logo is. A mouse? A lemming? A badger?
I asked Bing to create an app icon combining a mouse with a ancient Greek philosopher, this is what it created.
