Is this the right name for the site?
We try to hammer these things out during the proposal phase; really we do... but in the last day or two we've seen some objections to the name "Speculative Science", and if we're going to change it now is the time, so... do we want a different name for the site?
One objection was that the current name doesn't really make it clear, before clicking, what the site is about, and a concern was raised about this sounding like junk science -- not what we want! Suggestions I've seen include "Future Science", "Imaginative Science", and "Scientific Worldbuilding". Maybe you have other suggestions.
If you think we should rename the site, please post an answer (one suggestion per answer) or upvote it if your suggestion is already there. If you think the name is fine, please post or upvote an answer saying so. Let's sort this out now, before we start advertising widely. Thanks.

What about simply reversing the name? Instead of "Speculative Science", potentially implying speculating about science (with all the implications of that), we could have "Scientific Speculation", implying speculation about things but in a scientific manner.
