Rather easy to confuse with a Real Time Operating System. I'd suggest something else.those names themselves are ok, but i'm talking about a name specifically for the engine
i was thinking about something like RTOS (real-time open source) but that's of course not very catchy

VictoryOS? A misspelling of victorious that is Victory Open Source?

I actually like OpenWar. Altho GloriOS and FreeDOM have something in it too.
Damn...well, we would be able to claim a high google score with that name, although I doubt anyone would fall for it
Seriously, FreeDOM is nice, but using a search engine you would never find this project.
GloriOS a bit of the same. It's far more viable at it, since the 85k hits are mostly spelling errors of glorious and as such more ignored.
OpenWar generates 'only' 1390 hits. The top ones are from either a dead hosting service or a chess-event. OpenWar wouldn't be as hard to attach to this project and get known with.
It's not that you should forget about other names, just consider their effect in searchengines

I always thought of an engine more like a brain... The code would be the orders the bones and muscles, which tell the body parts (models) how to correspond with each other and their surroundings. Then there is the skin, which surprisingly are not the skins, but the maps (surfaces) in which the body is enclosed in. Darn, I'm just babbling now
