Good ways to name django projects which contain only one app

When creating projects which contain just a single app, what are the good ways to name the project?

I can think without any confusion how to name my app but I need a project name for it. (Can i create a app without a project? If yes, Is it good to do that ?)

[Update] I saw some projects on github which contain single app are named as django-[appname]. I liked it and will be following it for naming my projects which contain a single app. Django might be overkill for single app projects but as of now i have just started learning django so i have only one app in my projects.

Thanks

Usually, for projects that are going to be used by only one installation, I usually name my projects as "who will be using the system" (e.g. the organization's name) and the apps as "major features of the system".

However, if your app is really that simple that you don't expect to be using multiple apps, then django might be too heavyweight and you might actually be better served by using something simpler.
