Hell's Hundred Acres

I've been incredibly fascinated with this NYC neighborhood name ever since I heard about it on the 99% Invisible podcast. As they said in the podcast, there's just something really cool sounding about "Hell's Hundred Acres" despite the rather dreary connotation (it was named that because the fire department saw the SoHo area as a huge potential fire hazard due to its old wooden buildings). The neighborhood eventually was renamed SoHo to spur development (just like "NoMad"!).

Anyway, I've been looking for a name for my new MacBook Pro and now I think I've found it.
