Several years ago, I was contributing to a German OpenSource project, who
also built an online memory game for kids. The project got sued by
Ravensburger, a publisher of board games, because of trademark violation.
Therefore, I highly recommend that you don't name such a game something
including "Memory", because at least in the German market this is a
trademark. The trademark is also mentioned in the German wikipedia article
of Memory Game.

Alternative names might be pairs or c(k)oncentration.

Sebastian
