New project name

While “puppeteer” is apt, there are a few downsides: 3 syllables (and kinda a mouthful), difficult spelling (surprisingly), kinda plain, the npm name is taken. There’s been an interest amongst a few folks to retitle the project before shipping.

I have collected a few possibilities below.

I’m not explaining each name for simplicity, I’d rather them stand on their own. However, most have connotations and associations with things like: legend of sleepy hollow, headlessness, phantom of the opera, scientific method/testing, shadow puppets.
