Name of Potoff Mie force field #3

I know that we discussed the name of the Potoff Mie force field prior to our IFPSC10 submission. We decided just to call it "Potoff," and I have done this in all of my previous publications. However, @jpotoff was not included as an author in any of those publications. Referring to the "Potoff" force field in a manuscript co-authored by Potoff seems somewhat strange to me. Do we want to assign a more definitive name to the force field?

The most similar force fields (in construction, atom typing, target data, etc.) are probably TraPPE and TAMie. I have actually seen one article refer to the Potoff force field as "TraPPE-Mie." I don't think Ilja would be particularly pleased if we stole the iconic TraPPE trademark. TAMie stands for "Transferable Anisotropic Mie", so an obvious option would be TUMie (Transferable United-atom Mie" or TIMie (Transferable Isotropic Mie). But we don't need to limit ourselves to mimic these two names. We could try something like NERD (Nath Escobedo and de Pablo revised, where they took some artistic liberties to rearrange the letters). In fact, TAMie referred to the Potoff force field for alkanes as PBB (Potoff and Bernard-Brunel). But there have been so many subsequent papers with different authors that neither NERD or PBB seems appropriate.

Any more ideas?

Here are some that come to mind:

Mie-UA Mie-Potoff TraMP (Transferable Mie Potentials) TraMie (Transferable Mie)

I guess the question is, what do we really want to emphasize? Is it the Mie potential? Transferability? United-atoms? Vapor-liquid coexistence properties? The authors?

Not sure how I didn't think of this one sooner:

TrUMP (Transferable United-atom Mie Potentials)

Not trying to make a political statement (although Michigan did vote for Trump). But I think you could say that this force field "trumps" the rest. Or, "TrUMP, making force fields great again." :-)

That is somewhat amusing...

We call it Mie-UA in ITIC paper so far but that can change. TraMie sounds good

@mostafa-razavi @ramess101 @msoroush @jrelliottoh please don't call it TraMie. TrUMP is horrible, but at least it sounds better that TraMie when you say it. And TraMie could get confused by some with TraPPE (as in TraPPE-Mie, which it is not), and that would really not be a good thing. In the original paper, the title was "Mie Potentials for Phase Equilibria..." That could be shortened to MiPPE (pronounced "MIP"), or MiPPE-UA Not married to it, just throwing the idea out there.

@jpotoff Then I will go with MiPPE for now. In the end, it is 100% your decision. Whatever you decide, we will do our best to inundate the literature so that all the previous terms die out.
