Very cool, wishing you the best of luck with this.

One bit of feedback from me, take it or leave it, but the name doesn't feel appealing or memorable. What does it mean?

Thanks! We'll happily take suggestions, but I read it like "Euro-key". My wife also doesn't love the name, but we couldn't come up with (or find) anything with 5 letters or less that sounded decent so far.

There's no specific meaning, though I can't say I dislike the close name matches with Uruk-hai [1] and Uruk [2]! :)

It makes me think of the Uruk-hai from Lord of the Rings. To me that is not a positive connotation. I feel bad writing anything even slightly negative about what is a really, really awesome project, though, and I hope that you meet with success :)
