Flex Builder will change names at version 4 to Flash Builder 4. This is a move that I support, there is confusion between what Flash / Flex really is, and I think this naming change both removes the confusion and strengthens the Flash brand.
This got me thinking about what Bolt should be named. Firstly I really hope that Bolt is just a code name, because if you search for Bolt you mainly get references to the Dog Movie. Secondly, like strengthening the brand, it needs to strengthen the brand of either ColdFusion or CFML.
I would propose either
ColdFusion Builder
CFML Builder
I prefer the later and they could develop this in such a way that it is the defacto IDE for CFML, regardless of if you use ColdFusion, Railo or Open BlueDragon, then to call it CFML Builder makes sense.
I hope that the CFML advisory board could put this to Adobe or at least have a say as to what they think it should be called. Adobe have the right to call it whatever they like however, but they do listen to opinion.

The good thing about the name Bolt is that it is nice and short to pronounce. CFML Builder isn't really. I would prefer they recycled an old name and use CF Studio.
I think the CF Studio name was pretty well used and is now used up and played out now. CF Studio should pretty well be retired to the old ages of internet past. Rest in peace, ColdFusion Studio, but please, don't get up again, I'd hate to have to put you down twice.
It's all about Flash now. So perhaps "FlashServer" ?
I can see "ColdFusion Builder" - I don't see them selling CFML Builder. I don't expect to see any Railo/OpenBD functionality in an Adobe IDE.
That's what CFEclipse is for... and we have the best name :)
How about "Fusion Point", "Eutectic" or "Transmutation"
Just be grateful it's not made by MS, then it'd be "ColdFusion Smudge Studio Express Edition Plus" or something...
