I'm not sure the I'd go with the name "The On1on". It seems too close to trademark infringement. An alternative off the top of my head is "The Un-ion" (as in "un-" + "Onion") but it's hard to distinguish from "union" (as in "trade union"). "The Garlic", anyone?

Edit: I'd better let you judge what sounds nice.

Edit 2: Hmm. Let's try my Rebrand-O-Matic:

On1on — On-1-on — 1-on-1 — Ioni — iOni.

You can illustrate it with a sleek iPhone-like icon of an oni (a Japanese demon) holding an onion.

http://ioni.io is available for $50, which may or may not be too much for this project.

More seriously, though, http://allium.org is available for $10.69 from NameCheap. "Allium" is the Latin name of the genus to which onion and garlic belong.




Just go with The Garlic if available. Needs to be more obviously than Allium, and should be a .com to mimic The Onion.
