All those coined words ending in ‘a’ — Plectra, Placenta, Adeptra, Conceptra, Integra, Concentra…
But I’ve always loved the name Fair Isaac.
Stands right out. Sounds like the opening of a nursery rhyme (“Fair Isaac, Fair Isaac with long golden hair/ Fair Isaac, Fair Isaac who fell down the stair…”).
