ToïToï
The name, ToïToï, comes from theater, where people wish each other good luck through this token of superstition. The name also evokes the toy, the playful, as well as a famous brand of porta potties (with which we have no connection). It is a programatic name, from the trivial to the most elevated and the reversal of such orders.
