Excellent article. I'd like to contribute some possible names

i like Microbase for tiny home office type "cd collection" db's, ( inferring that its a well normalised decent DB, just very small)

and MegaBase for large scale institution pervasive decent structure DB.. and its evil cousin, the large important badly normalised high table count behemoths as a behemobase. ( i'd apply Behemobase to P jones example)

also, i have encountered lots of spreadsheets which are nicely formatted as proper dataset, but then under the hood they are riddled with countless Vlookups and no validation ( and even horror of horros - Hlookups....).... i'd call those a Spreadbase, because they spread like wild fire.

Those lists people provide you in excel, where they have used colour and font and italics / bold to denote important aspects or status of their records..which an import to SQL or Access won't pick up need a name as well....failbase?

Although i am partial to a bit of Access and Excel VBA, one of my old colleagues used to refer to my efforts alternately as Abcess and Excess databases...
